Re: How did you thank your mentors and sponsors? 2006 Edition
Our sponsor Mr. Arnett has been more dedicated to our club than any teacher has ever been to any club at our school. He formed the robotics class which competed in Coco Best and FIRST. Both rookie teams. With no shop in our school allowing us to do what we wanted to do he opened his home to us every week day and weekend. He let us use all his tools and his entire family was very supportive of us. It is obvious that he lost alot of sleep by doing this.
In building the robot we actualy broke his chop saw. It was just due to being used alot however we felt that Arnett deserved a nice new saw so everyone on the team pitched in some money and we were able to buy him a brand new 200 dollar ridgid saw. Its so nice and smooth and has all the new bells and whistles that his old saw didnt have. What was better was that we were able to give this to him on his birthday. He definately deserved it and in my opinion should get the volunteer of the year award for the Houston regional since he was our only sponsor and was there every single meeting.
