Re: Teams I'm Inspired By

Here's some that I can think of at the moment.

11 - Mort has invited me to their school before and let me see how they ran their operation. They're a World Class team if not better and they are truly one awesome bunch of people.

25 - Love them or Hate them, 25 build some fantastic robots. Their 2006 bot instilled what dominance was into my head as a Freshman

103 - If you can win Jersey 4 years in a row you're doing something right.

217 - I've never met anyone on the ThunderChickens personally but I know they're an awesome team. They have an almost Rockstar style that I love in addition to the coolest name in FIRST (IMO).

229 - I remember seeing their 2007 robot at the Championship and they were the inspiration for 816's drive trains since then. I remember it as the first robot I'd ever seen that used bolts as Axles and I've used it ever since.

316 - Is one of My favorite teams in FIRST. They're an awesome group of people that build great machines. They also Co-Host Duel on the Delaware and I'd have to say that that's the Event that started it all for me.

1114 - Anyone remember 2008? How about 2007? 2006? Simbotics Dominates the field every year. Watching their performances makes me want to be that much better of A Driver, A team mate and a person.

There's many more but I'm out of time.
