Re: pic: The Triplets are Coming To Atlanta!!

That's right, the NiagaraFIRST.org Triplets will be at the Championship Event. When we first started this project in the fall, we wanted all three of our teams to compete at the highest level. By getting them all to Atlanta, we feel that this goal has been accomplished.

These three robots are all ready and geared up to make a big run in Atlanta!

Another major goal was to create a model that could be used to help FIRST grow. We feel that our use of collaboration has done that. I won't get into all the details of the business model here, (a whitepaper will made available after the season) but we feel that we've created something that if used effectively can provide a huge amount of growth for FIRST.

So, I urge any teams who think they're up for the task of helping FIRST grow next season, to come stop by one of our pits and talk to myself or any of our other team members. We'd love to tell you "the story of how one team became three", and give you some guidance so you can do the same.

See all of you in Atlanta...
