This year was exectional for our team. There are many standout moments for us . Howver, the one that is brightest for me occurred during Nationals. Our next door neighbors, Team 41, were having a seriously hard weekend. They had little help from their sponser. No mentors. A poorly performing robot. To look at them, you saw a small group of kids who were totally uninspired. They even hung an air freshener on there bot with a sign saying, "We stink" We took notice and decided to try to bring them up. We helped them fix a few of their mechanical problems. That nite, we had a few of our students make buttons for them, made a special "Robbie Award" for "Never say die". The next morning wee made sure we were there first, set out the buttons , ther "Robbie" and some other cool handouts we had. When their team started coming in, and saw what lay before them they were so excited. To see them smile was the best moment I had that weekend.
