Your autonomous mode is certainly something to be proud of and it will help you win many future matches, keep it up. Not only was your robot amazing though, your kids and adults alike were too. We have been using you as an example of what team spirit should look like. Congrats on Engineering Inspiration too, you deserve it.

Thank you so much! We really try the keep it simple method. This was the first year we paid any attention to the appearance,and when we were looking at our peg for our arm, and the light around the camera, it just looked like a train! So, I begged the kids to make it a train and was very proud of what they did.(Thanks also to their high school art teacher who helped them figure out what paint to use) I am also very proud of my autonomous programmer. He is a senior this year, and the rest of the programming team has big shoes to fill, though he has been working with them all year to prepare them for next year. I've threatened to flunk him so I can keep him, but since I teach jr. high, it doesn't scare him too much. It is really nice to hear your compliments, but really we just learned from all of you! When Nick and I took over 4 years ago, we just looked around and learned from the amazing teams we have in Michigan! So, thanks to all of you for helping us get to where we are!
