Team 45 is one of the best teams I have ever competed with, hands down. They are gracious to other teams, they compete in a professional manner, and most of all, their kids really LEARN. Their students are excited about the program and the changes that they can make in FIRST. They are informed, intelligent, and some of the friendliest kids I've ever met. Their mentors are dedicated people who work constantly to improve FIRST and their own community. Indiana is a better state for having such a great team.
My small team needed some help after we had built 4 drive trains and had just about given up hope. Mentors from Team 45 came over and gave my kids a couple ideas as to how to get our machine up and running again, but let the kids learn and experience just how to make it work. I have utmost respect for their team and the way they operate.
I'm sorry that you have the feelings that you do. I hope that you get to experience the TechnoKats in competition and bear witness to their friendly demeanor sometime soon.
