Team 103
The Cybersonics Technology team is definitely something out of the ordinary, hardly a team, but more of a family. When i first joined the Tech team last year, it was without knowing anything about it, just that my brother did it, and said it was something i should look into. turning in my application the last day before the deadline, I was unsure of my choice. As the year went on, i was intimidated by the upperclassmen and advisors, and was just trying to fit in. once the competitions rolled around, and I saw how close we came together for that, I knew i wanted to do it again.
At the beginning of this year, I hesitated in joining the team again, but after having a talk with a few mentors, I realized that quiting the team was not at all what i wanted. Being assigned the team photographer kept me busy, and was also very entertaining. As the competitions came along this year, I knew what i was getting into, and could not wait, Rutgers was a lot more fun this year, seeing as how i managed not getting lost. Though the upset in the play-offs, it was still entertaining watching other teams practically drool over our pit display, robot, and team unity. When UTC came, and i "stumbled" across a press pass, I knew it was going to be a lot of fun. Experiencing a championship win firsthand was the most exciting thing I have ever done in my life, all of the positive energy, and seeing the reactions of our drivers, as they happened, and getting it all on film was more than I could handle. I remember running over towards Rob, Pat, and Mike as the Time ran out on the 3rd match of the championship, and all of the excitement I felt. Tears of joy filled everyones eyes, and I began to see more and more, of what Cybersonics is all about.
Even though the disapointment with the robot at Nationals, with the ball system, and that dreaded last match, it made no difference in how I felt about this team, we have accomplished so much this year, and it helped me realize, how winning actually isnt anything.
I have managed in making better friends in the past two years through Cybersonics, than with anyone else in my life, and I know I can turn to anybody if a problem ever occurs. We truly are a special group of people, even the bus driver managed to notice that, after only spending a week toghether, not knowing anything about us previously.
The season is not over, there is still Tunkhannock for us to create more memories, and to tell stories about past experiences. Lets go there and show them what Cybersonics is all about.
I would like to thank all of the seniors for all they have done for the team in the past 4 years, I cant imagine the team without you, but unfortunately, next year we will have to do without you. Each and everyone has guided other team members and it is greatly appreciated. We will miss you all. I would also like to thank all over the other team member and Advisors for helping make this past year, one of the best in my life, I know I am always welcome with the team, and that means a lot to me.
and now...
to out-do Kathryn's poem...
Roses are Red,
Violets are Blue,
Cybersonics, winners of UTC
in 2002...
Ha, cant blame me for trying...
I love you all
