For those of you who are new to FIRST, or who have a few years under you belt like I do... get this:
Tim Railey from team 45 has been in this thing ...for...nine...years. Yes, nine. Listen to him. He's seen this come from 28 teams in 1992, through some tough years and some excellent years.
When he says that team 47 is to be commended, we should all respect those words more than anyone else posting here.
Tim isn't as vocal as I, and he's also not in the spotlight as much... but I depend on him sooo much. He is the backbone of our team, and I just wanted the rest of you to know that.
As for my opinions about how 47 does things... keep raising the bar. We'll try to keep up. We always enjoy being your neighbor and look forward to a coninued partnership in the years to come. Our students, like others on many teams, look up to your engineers and teachers so much. You are not only role models to these students, but also to engineers like me.
Please don't back down. Your example pushes us all to be better and more inspirational every year.
For those of you who do not know team 47 and are quick to criticize... think twice. What you do not know makes you look ignorant. They're involvement in this crazy FIRST thing has made us all better teams... believe me.
Respectfully,
Andy Baker
