GREAT ROOKIE TEAM

While there were many rookie that were impressive during this years competitions my hat goes off to TEAM 1011 - Team C.R.U.S.H. (Constructed Robot Under Severe Heat) from Tucson, Arizona. This team was started by 1st and 2nd year College students at the University of Arizona. These students when out on their own and got the team started raising the funds and mentoring primarily middle school students.

They attended the Arizona Regional and received the Rookie All-Star Award. Where the robot performed wonderfully, and the team didn't need seats because they were always standing up and cheering for everyone.

This team spirit carried over to the Nationals where on the Curie Field they ended up as the top ranked rookie team in 20th place. The robot work flawlessly in every match and the autonomous mode was awesome, working every time. Again seats were optional as the team was generally front and center cheering on all the competitors.

I was truly surprised, when no one in the top eight picked team 1011 as an alliance partner. Hopefully teams will put TEAM CRUSH -1001 on their scouting cards for next year - because they certainly were overlooked at this years championships.
