Re: bragging rights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well I know that as a first year mentor, I personally had an interesting year. We had two students work through the entire design process basically by themselves and they learned a ton. Six people got to have the taste of being on the field during a match, all of whom had a blast. We worked our butts off with fund raising to attend two regionals this year. We managed to go to our first ever practice event and had a lot of fun. Our programmer got to become a builder for four out of the six weeks and then got to have his autonomous code score more points in a single match than our robot did all of last year(excluding climbing ramps). We have many graduating seniors, one of whom was steered into a career with animation because of being part of FIRST. We learned a ton this year and had a great time doing it.
Sorry if bragging about these accomplishments is a bad thing in anyone's eyes but I am too proud of all the hard working kids I had the privilege of mentoring this year to not brag about the great things they did. I've been a driver for 3 exciting regional finals but seeing our team grow so much this year makes it my favorite year in FIRST. Congrats to all you guys on those awards too! Great work!
