Our team won the chairman's award in 2007 in Kansas City, MO. That year we did a lot of volunteer work and documented it all. The wife of one of our mentors was in a car accident and ended up having some other serious medical problems. We put on a benefit to help the family pay for their medical expenses. We have also helped with church groups, helped mentor other teams, have done robot demonstrations for our sponsors and schools, and have worked very hard to earn our money to be able to keep our program running. We even do occasional cleaning of a local hockey arena to make some money...it is hard work and takes a lot of people and many hours, but it is all worth it to be able to compete in the competitions and give these students this great learning opportunity and experience!
