Re: What I Learned In FIRST This Year...

33. 67 + 406 = a whole lotta fun*
34. 30" ball - 5" at nationals = bot that can't grab ball
35. 50 floor aviary + parachute guy + glass elevator = cool
36. completely open hotel inside + many FIRST teams = "heeeeeeeeey!" + midnight
37. 50 floor staricase = 2student + mentor + running up
38. Doubler ball + 1241's basket = awesome play
39. 340 + 1126 = awesome alliance

*406's sponsor, Denso, left them this year. They paid financially, but provided no mentorship. In the past, the Denso engineers had built the bot, so none of the students really knew how to build one. 406 asked for help, and 67 responded by letting them work in our shop with our mentors. In a way, they became part of our team. It was a great experience, for the first time they designed and built their robot, and won their first FIRST trophey. Plus, even though we weren't at the detroit regional, we got to go so we could cheer for them. Go Mustangs!
