This is about a group of people involved with our team that has inspired me alot; At the beginning of this year our main sponsor, Quest Technologies, set certain guidelines that had to be met in order for them to sponsor us (effectively deciding if we HAD a team or not), these guidelines weren't met, leaving the future of our team hanging in the balance, but then the FIRST Spirit took over, a girl on our team who also happens to work at Quest, heard the rumors there of them not going to sponsor us, it got around and eventually the parents found out, and one of the biggest shows of support for anything I had seen occurred. The parents got involved in everything, and it made us realize, Hey we need to do something to keep our team, we raised money, got more team members, talked to the management at Quest, did everything we thought we needed to to get them to believe in us, and once they saw what the parents had done they realized that this program couldn't go away. Without FIRST Robotics I don't know what I would be doing, being on the team has inspired me to do and learn some awesome new things, and I'm grateful everyday for it, and without these great people around it wouldn't be possible.
See you all in Florida, I'm gonna win this pool lol
