Re: Team 1717 retires

I was on this team a few years back. I had and still kind of have many problems with the team itself, but I'm still pretty pissed off that they just...took it away.

As for why? I don't know. I do know that Shaeer is REALLY into the mechatronics project, but...I don't know any of the details. I don't really talk to people on the team much anymore.

Many of the kids are only here because of the robotics capstone project. Now, there is no other FRC team anywhere around the clump of nearby cities, not even as far as Carp, and definitely not one this well known and respected.

From what I'm hearing from this past Mechatronics graduates, the program hasn't really gotten rave reviews, which is not super surprising considering this is a very new program. I only hope that they can improve it with the increase of time and resources alloted to it, and that the students aren't too afraid to speak up on what can be improved upon.

I feel so bad for the upcoming seniors, though. They had absolutely no warning that this was coming and my heart goes out to them.
