To Teams 494, 151, and 1002:

On behalf of Team 341, it was our pleasure to give the i-Pod to such deserving teams. Your on-field and off-field performance this year really warranted this recognition. Congratulations and thank you for being such an amazing example for other teams. You are what Gracious Professionalism is all about.

For your reference below, are the 3 Gracious Professionalism stories from the backs of the i-Pod Postcards for the 3 prize winners at Nationals.

Best of luck in the off-season!!!

Al Ostrow
Coach, Team 341


Thank a Team with an I-Pod Winners

1st : Team 494; Goodrich Martians; http://www.494martians.com/
1396’s crate was shipped to the wrong location, leaving them with no robot. Team 494 helped team 1396 build a robot from scratch in six hours.


2nd: Kris Erickson – Team 151; Wildcards; http://www.baesystemsfirst.org/

Kris spent numerous hours helping machine parts for our robot during the build season. He also gave us a custom drill transmission that his team made extra of. Despite some resentment from his team, Kris continued to help work with our team until the end. Team 166 is grateful for his help.

3rd: Team 1002; The Circuit Runners; http://www.circuitrunners.com/

The incredibly hard work of scouting, entering the data, and maintaining an awesome database was the key reason for our strategic success. This team was always helpful and generous with information. Thank you to team 1002. (Anonymous)
