Re: Top 3 Days in your Team's History

2003 Robot Rodeo - Team Spirit Award! The first award we've ever won! We were shocked... We were all so incredibly proud to finally win something - ANYTHING, and it came as a team spirit award. This really inspired a lot of people and gave them confidence. Our robot competed horribly and was an extreme design intended to specialize in something. It ended up specializing in dead last place at UCF. This was depressing as we had never worked so hard. But then to win the team spirit award in the offseason just showed that the team was strong regardless of our robots performance. We were so incredibly happy about that little award!

2004 2nd seed UCF - Finalists with 1083 and 180 (very cool to ally with our Brothers and sisters) - Judges Award.
Robot Rodeo 1st place with 1402 and team spirit award again!
Curie finalist at nationals with 11 and 190 - this was an honor to be allied with that amazing 190 machine!

2005 2nd seed UCF again - Delphi driving tommorows technology award - 1st place finish with 233 and 1529 again a huge honor to be allied with 233. After all these years admiring their machines we actually worked with them and won!
