After reading
the book by Joshua Davis, I was surprised. After all, I'd heard some of your David vs. Goliath story floating around FRC for years but had never quite fully understood the adversity your team had - and continues - to face. Amanda,
Thanks for the kind words.
Over the years, Josh has become a good friend. He has been to several regionals and a championship with us, as well as an underwater competition. He understands the FIRST goals.
The Spare Parts movie is highly fictionalized. The book (which in my opinion is well written) is not a retelling of the Hollywood or documentary film, but a far more accurate telling of the story of the four kids. There are actually hundreds that have similar stories who have been on our teams.
Ore tag line goal has been"We are attempting to change the culture". Hopefully, the book will get a lot of attention. It is already in its second printing.
