Re: What are your victories?

So Im on a young team and it being our third year we really saw this program grow i came in the teams second year from FRC 71so going from that team to my team now FRC 4841was a culture shock. They werent a bad team they were Rookie Inspiration and had a solid robot for a rookie team but they were really close minded. We took the summer and really laid out the team and I taught them what I learned like with build crew, robot strategy, and getting the team out to the community. We started small haha actually at the ground level bumpers to be exact I showed them an outside the box way think that year we had the fastest bumpers they were red and blue stitched together to allow them to change on the fly. Then we wanted a practice robot which is huge for teams also costly but they did it. We wanted to really market ourselves in our community of Tucson proud to say these kids have close ties with the mayor now he comes around alot now they also now use the local news as a media correspondent as a third year team. Its amazing to watch these kids grow. Biggest accomplishment so far has been this season they unveiled a community outreach trailer, they placed top 20 at AZ West, they played after lunch on Saturday for the first time ever, and they were honored with the Engineering Inspiration award and are going to the World Championships. I couldn't put it into words how proud I am of this young team and the high hopes I have for them.
