I have to agree with those that suggest that no team is perfect, but I would add that there are some great things that if you take from each team, are true inspirations. I dont think I can make a full list... but for me here are some.
233 - Pink was a HUGE inspiration to our team at the Boston regional... many of our kids were ho-humming about spirit... they were excited, but kept saying that "no body else was cheering" on our team. So they teamed up with the Pink team, and learned the roller coaster and just how to have fun while cheering. They loved it so much that they went home and had a whole spirit day before championships, and tore down the Curie field with their new-found spirit!!
176 - My rock and my alma matter... I wrote them so many times as I started each 229 & 1511, asking how to do this or that, or just rambling off our issues or my excitement. From them we grabbed the awesome idea of a "Patron Book" that every year brings us more than 10k in sponsorship money, and at the same time, teaches kids to get out in the community & spread the word of FIRST. 176 the role model that we used to gain the idea of making more well rounded students, do community service, give back, do demos, help other teams, host events! To me, they were a great team even before they won championships.
191 & 340 - These teams are awesome role models for the Rochester community and have been big helps to 1511 in pulling Rochester together. They are also very consistant in their strong work with the students, and doing it all for the right reasons
Lastly 1551 - One of those teams that I doubt anyone outside rochester knows... Naples Robotics. Their team took 3 years to pull together the funding to make it to the regional in 2005!! They struggled yet again with funding this year, but pulled through... and even as their robots are often simple and bare, they learn... and now they have students thirsting for knowledge, wanting to know how to program the camera when they have no engineering mentors and no programmers! Yet they perservere.
So in summary, 233 for their spirit, 176 for its "team" & entrepreurship, 191 & 340 for their community, and 1551 for its perservence make up my ideal role model team
