Now don't get me wrong, I am very proud and exited that we were able to get 18th out of 204 teams. By no means am i soured by that. However, I have been on a team with a winning tradition for many years, and this year i came to a team who had a rough time in the past competing on the level of some of the teams out there. On friday at lunch we were standing at number one. The students on my team were exposed to something new to them, contending for the championship. I can't even explain how it felt to see their faces after they had been through so many tough times in previous years concerning their robots. Not many on our team ever dreamed of being in the top 16, we saw top 16 as our major goal, and were out to get it at all costs. As you can imagine, we were dissapointed when a little bit of bad luck kept us from making the goal that was so close to our reach. Now, I know there are many teams out there who would be happy just to have a robot moving on the field, but they have their own goals, while we have ours. That is the reason why im soured. I however love this program, and it has done more for me than I could have ever imagined, so i would never be soured by it. I just like to argue about the game from year to year, thats part of why the program is such fun.
Cya all later,
Andy Grady, DWC/Alvirne
