What makes us unique? Hmmm.

Well, our rookie year (last year) we broke 5 speed controllers during the building stage, and two more later. We had and continue to have no engineering help (really, our supposed sponsor, NJIT sent us a communications engineer who was specializing fiber optic line, and we spent a day explaining how to use pneumatics to her. This year the didn't even bother with that). Our sponsors live in our town. (Judy and Josh Weston, CEO of ADP ---THANK YOU) We have a team member who "went for a little walk" at 3 in the morning in the middle of Harlem last year at the columbia regional. We also have come up with and used our dollar shop soldering iron in no less than 17 different incorrect and unsafe ways, including but not limited to: Melting treads in wheels, melting carpet to the floor, making wooden signs, shrinking heat-shrink tubing, and creating small, scrap metal sculptures. We also turned our bridge from last year into this year's work table.

I love the the smell of melting speed controllers in the morning...
