66

From what I know, team 66 used to be made up of Ypsilanti HS, Lincoln HS, and our, Willow Run High, school. I dunno if any other team mentored us at one time.
Team 470 came from our team, or was it the other way aorund? I couldn't tell you.
We're currently involved in mentoring a team from Romulus.


As far as the FLL is concerned: Team 66 has mentored the local middle school team. First started as Edmonson Middle School Jets, with 2 known numbers: 2804 (2002) and 822 (2003). Then when moved over to the new middle school, it became the Willow Run Middle School CyberJets (pronounced WoRMS Cyberjets) Team #s: 130, 131 (these two had to be consolidated), and 2837. Basically this is the team we started, maintained, and mentored.

Location: Ypsilanti, MI

Hope that helps.

In 1996 Team 116 was one of the original two NASA teams (Team 114? was the other) and the first team in the state of Virginia. We were then at South Lakes High School in Reston, VA. In 1999 we moved to our current location at Herndon High School due to a lack of faculty support at SLHS.
We had some older numbers in the 60s and 80s, but I do not know the exact numbers.
116 has mentored over 20 teams in the region. Some of them include 612, 623 and 927. Our level of support ranged from phone calls and emails to allowing them to use our shop and/or assissting in the fabrication of parts.
116 has also indirectly "mentored" many teams through posting designs and helping teams through these forums. You know your doing a good job when other teams e-mail you to thank you for a design you posted. For some reason our designs seem to win more matches for other teams than ours.
116 alumnus Aleisha Wallenstein has started 29 teams (27 of which still exist). Team 401, The Hokie Guard, was co-founded by Aleisha Wallenstein and an alumni of Team 122. Last year, Aleisha helped create the 12 Israeli teams and the Israeli reagional competition. 10 of those teams returned to compete this year, and they were joined by 16 new teams. Aleisha is now the FIRST regional director of the Israeli regional.
Team 116 also played an important role in helping to start many area teams, especially in Fairfax County (such as 612 and 623). We have talked to Fairfax County Public Schools and other area education and science movement and played various roles in helping to start, or try to start, new area teams. Even earlier this year we attended an event at Devry University to help start new teams.
Additionally, by helping get NASA involved with FIRST, we have indirectly helped to found many many many more teams.

116 alumnus Joanne Emerson founded a FLL team (unsure of number) and 116 has been greatly involved in the local FLL regional.

In 2005, FVC Team 18 was created as a pilot team for the Vex pilot program. 116 served as a mentoring body for it, and 116 members assist in the leadership, construction, and mentoring of FVC Team 18. Team 18 won the 2005 Pilot event at the Championships in Atlanta along with FVC Teams 27 and 48 last April.

116 is located in Herndon, Virginia, about 20 miles west of Washinton DC.

Yeah, I'm just not a nice person. It's tough love, really

I may be getting old, but my ailing memory is telling me this has been attempted before, and it's quite the daunting task. But just by writing it down every so often we're a step ahead, because that means that it's not just reliant on verbal accounts.

So, Elgin? Tell me about Litchfield County and why all of their names are similar.

Involvement with FLL

FLL Team we mentored this year: Six teams...don't know the numbers. We have had students mentor FLL teams every year since 1998. Most of the new students on the HOT Team this year took part in FLL.

FLL teams we started. All the teams in the Huron Valley School District have been started in some way by the HOT Team.

In 1998 the HOT Team organized at least one FLL team in every school in the district...a total of 54 teams. This was for the FLL pilot. Dean Kamen flew in from New Hampshire to witness the pilot. Some of those teams have continued to this day. Every year since 1998 we have held a qualifying regional and since 1999 have been responsible for the Official Michigan FLL Tournament.

The Heroes Of Tomorrow (HOT) are from the Huron Valley School District which includes Milford and White Lake, Michigan.
