i know a team...
Any guess what team this is?
Made up of 20 students from not one, not two, but 4 rival, inner-city high schools.
7th year in competition.
Until this year, no major financial sponsor. Financed completely by community donations and fundraising.
Technical support provided by a local, family-owned company.
Only about 5 engineers, total.
Students build entire robot, except for parts that students cannot make due to school-district safety regulations.
Students are best friends. Team members go bowling every week together. A former team member changed the date of her birthday party this year because the team had a meeting and no one would've been able to come.
In the off season, many students work for another company owned by the family of their technical sponsor.
One of the most successful small teams in the history of FIRST.
Any guesses?
