Re: An FRC Family Tree...
For a number of years we had a giant gear we would take to competitions (and later a computer with a projector) that would have the numbers of all the teams at the competition around the outside. Every time a team came up and told us about a connection we would connect the two teams with string and a note describing the connection. By the end of a competition it would be a mass strings. The connections could be something as simple as "677 lent 1014 a drills bit" to "Our mentor Danny used to be on your team." It really brought home the interconnectedness of the FRC competition. I will have to look for one of our old pictures of the gear. It's too bad we had to stop doing it (stopped getting permission to set it up).
