Team 971 - Another amazingly successful team with an astonishing record of helping other teams. We needed special custom parts, and being a first year team, we simply did not have the tools to make it ourselves, nor did we have the money to have it done professionally. Spartan Robotics came to the rescue by not only helping us make the parts in their workshop, but also teaching us how to work these extremely helpful tools and giving us insight as to what to purchase for our shop in future years.



Team 1678 - The Citrus Circuits also constructed a beautiful and well-made robot. You don't make it to Einstein on accident. Apart from that, they played a vital role in our first year as a team. Mentors talked to us about how to expand our shop on a budget, and even came down from Davis (close to a two hour drive one way!) to discuss logistics and ways to raise money for the trip to Champs. We are more than grateful for their support this season and we look forward to working with them in the future.



There are many more teams that deserve to be on this list, but those are my top three choices.

+1.

Also, if we are talking about teams with with great track records both on the field and off, I have to add Team 1868 - The Space Cookies. They have won 3 Regional Chairman's awards in the past 4 years, and are one of the most helpful and gracious teams I have met. Very willing to help us out with whatever we needed this season, including putting on a workshop for us and lending supplies. This team has a Championship Chairman's Award in their future!
