Beautiful story.
In fact, Herman reminded me of our alliance partner in BAE this year, Team 3609 - the Duct Tape Dragons. A team from Boys and Girls Club of Southern Maine...
They built a very robust robot and was critical to our alliance, but it's not their technical abilities that impressed me the most.
The team has 6 students in total.
Everyone was enthusiastic, eager to learn and contribute. I remembered shaking hands with them in the stands and the big smiles on their faces.
Another good example of how FIRST is working... inspiring young minds everywhere, big and small teams, veteran teams and rookies.
The bangor daily news
has a story about them.
Quote: "Their 120-lb robot was made mostly with materials scavenged from their robots from previous years. Their total cost for the robot was $495, which includes the value of the recycled parts."
"They received tremendous support and assistance from other Maine teams, including Team 172 The Northern Force out of Falmouth & Gorham High Schools, Team 133 BERT from Bonney Eagle High School and Team 58 Riot Crew from South Portland High School."
Thank you to all of you who has made this possible.
