hello my name is Amanda Cullen and I am the student leader of team 2458, Team Chaos. What I am sure a lot of you dont realize is that our team has had a rocky past. No one thought we would be able to make it from last year to this year but we proved them wrong.
This year was not only a good build season but our headmaster came down to see the competition. My headmaster was so impressed by not just the robots but the atmosphere of the competition and the friendliness and willingness to help. Because of his amazing experience there he is now on our side, he is looking into some outside sponsors (it will be the first time that our school ever allows this) and potentially even putting in a machine shop at Gill.
Now that everything has settled down again I wanted to thank everyone who was at the competition for making this dream a reality and helping me get one step closer to my goal which is to have a stable team before I graduate (I have one more year
) So thank you everyone
Especially:
Mr. Rotolo - I cant thank you enough for everything you have done to help us make this program possible. Your letter and wonderful advice made everything possible from getting support with the headmaster to getting new faculty advisors. Thank you
Akash Rastogi - I remember messaging you on the first day asking for wood to build a new crate. From last year's horror to this summer's rush to find a new faculty advisor to this years build season you are always there chearing us on. Without your help this team would not still be here today.
Team 102 - Although we have grown up together I did not expect the help we have gotten from you guys over the past few years. You have always helped us in any way we needed plus more and your advice and kindness will always be remembered. I look forward to working with you guys some more over this year and next year.
Our own mentor did not think we would make the transition from last year to this year and we proved him wrong. Now its time to step it up a notch and all of this would not be possible without all of your help.
Thank you and see you at the off season,
Amanda Cullen
