Hi all!

This year, I was the editor for our team's Chairman's Award. I'm pretty proud of the way it turned out.

Win or lose, it was fun putting the award together. It gave me an opportunity to really meet my team members. I learned more about them, their interests in FIRST, and it gave us an opportunity to become friends.

I'm all smiles...and we're having a lot of fun.

So, what does it have to do with a robot contest? Well, teamwork, dedication and friendship have a lot of play in all factors of life, including a robot contest.

Maybe we'll win, maybe we won't. But we've all made friends, and had a good time. In the end, that's more important than an award, don't you think?

Good luck everyone!
