Re: Congrats on making championships, 999! (ie, a rambling of our beginnings)

And maybe these are just amused ramblings, but... it makes me stop and remember.

I remember my first FRC match. Our robot didn't move. I remember the first time I was behind the glass during a match. We were holding driver tryouts. I remember a time when we missed matches, because our drive train didn't work. And, worst of all, I remember a time, when I was called into our teacher advisor's office during school. Tensions were running so high. And then our advisor walked out on me. On our team. I begged her to come back.

But, I also remember a time when she came back. I remember a time when we started making every match on time. Early even. I remember a time when we gave our first driver test. I remember the time we made a pick list for the first time, when we ranked 13th.

So, I guess, congrats, team 999.
Congratulations. It took us 12 years to get to that point. Trust me, that feeling doesn't get old.
