Re: UFH: Dan Larochelle

To add yet another story of a team that Dan and Team 40 has helped, this year we had a tendency to break the center out of our skyway wheels, we didn't know about this until the Manchester regional, we only had one spare. We mentioned the problem to a few teams and Dan and a couple of team 40's members came over, they went back to their shop that night and brought us their spare skyways the next day.

When I heard in Boston that team 40 had not won a regional I was amazed. My first exposure to FIRST robots (other than the one we built) was at a scrimmage in Quincy (hosted by team 69) last year. The first bot I saw was team 40's triple play bot, which was incredibly well designed. I didn't think we could compete. Luckily 40's robots are among the best. Their robot this year was just as impressive and turned plenty of heads when the wheeled it into the Quincy Scrimmage. We had a great time playing with and against Dan and Team 40 this year in Boston and Manchester.
