Re: Rookie Allstars: what sets you apart?

My team, rookie team #1511 "Rolling Thunder" won the All-Star award at the Finger Lakes Regional.

How did we do it? That's easy.

With a lot of help from GREAT MENTORS like yourself!

In all seriousness, there must be a lot of reasons why we got the nod from the judges. I think that each rookie team should re-visit the questions in the Chairman's Award submission and look in the mirror to seriusly reflect on the answers.

FIRST is about a whole lot more than building the 'bot. I really wish I had this kind of event when I was in high school. Rookie teams who get this sort of experience will be just that much further ahead in the real world.
