Our team won in 1995.
There were no alliances back then, or Einstien.
Until 1999 our team did not compete at regionals, b/c there were none near by. As a result, FIRST incorectly lists our rookie year as 1998, and does not have any records of awards we won proir to that.
In addition to the national banner, we were also the Chairmans award finalist. Kinda frustrating that we didn't win it, as there is no way we are ever going to win it now, and it would have given us a lifetime place at champs.
The 1995 robot was designed entirely by Carlo Bertocchini (builder of the battlebot Biohazard, and one of the most talented robot builders of all time).
The woodside teachers did not like that Carlo and Raytheon built the robot, so the team switched to the "Student Run, Student Built" motto, which we continue to follow today.
