Re: Team 1717 retires

For us 1717 served as the epitome of an inspirational team.

2012, (their robot was arguably a best of all time) they were across the aisle from us on Newton. We were not very good there - they were great - we drooled over their swerve. A highlight for us was on the practice field where by chance we were with them and 118, we practiced and achieved a triple balance - who else can say they triple balanced with such great teams?
As I read the New Cool and learned about other teams, we learn that this excellence comes from great processes.

On the bus ride home we decided to develop a swerve, we have used it the past couple years and it has provided great learning opportunity for the team, and a lot of fun. Great teams provide inspiration, Thanks d'Penguineers.
