The first thing 11/193's parents, mentors, and kids did when we came in was make sure make sure our kids were comfortable, we had everything ready to go for competition, and that we didn't lose anything event-critical for the team. They helped us print paperwork that we needed, offered to drive to a store for laptops, chargers, clothes for those in the car (so we didn't smell like smoke & rubber all day) and even set us up a 'quiet room' so we could decompress if need be... believe me, I used the heck out of that room in the morning.
You guys are always a class act, but this just went so above and beyond.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
P.S.:
Thanks to our partners, 11 and 3142 - great working with you as always! & thank you to 1228 (LabView experts) for working with us to try to get 3142 an autonomous mode. It was awesome of you to help out.  |
The community 11 is a part of is its biggest asset. The team's roots run incredibly deep. Everyone up in Waterbury was also glad you guys were all safe.
Funny story - even 228's third alliance partner this weekend, 3719, is mentored by a MORT alum. We're everywhere
Happy you are all safe, these freak accidents can be incredibly scary so I hope none of you are shook up too badly. A few days off for a sanity check are definitely in order.
