Re: Lessons learned 2005: The positive

One lesson learned is that you don't have to win your division or finals to have a great time! Our robot was well built and a lot of fun to watch. It just did not perform as well in some matches as others. I feel we still succeeded in the competition as we can sure answer YES to all 3 of the questions below.

One of our team mentors, Jeremy Roberts, CD forum member and the chair of the Peachtree Regional planning committee, asked 3 questions of everyone at the end of The Peachtree Regional. He said if you can answer YES to any of these questions you have succeeded here today!
  • Did you fix something that broke on your robot?
  • Did you make a mistake and learn from it?
  • Did you build a robot that you are proud of?

The parents and instructors of team #1002 are proud of our team and their accomplishments!

Dave
