Re: What FIRST Is About

If we're on the topic of what FIRST is about, I'd like to send my regards to 340, Team GRR.

Team 1126 and 340 go way, way back. We've got a lot of history togethor, and this past FLR, I'm happy to say I was able to be a part of it. Towards the end of the first day of competition, we were approached by 340. They offered us the use of a spare minibot, as ours was no exactly a game-making minibot. Now, if this were the elimination rounds, or if they were just looking to get picked (we were in an alliance picking position at this time), I would see it differently. But this went about during the first day of competition. We hadn't even been discussing who we'd want as an alliance partner yet. So, with no expectations of us to pick them, nor having already been picked, they offered us the use of a minibot that was easily one of the best at the competition.

Of course, this didn't directly effect our decision, but we did go on to pick them for our elimination round alliance. And, with the use of their minibot, our alliance was able to advance all the way to the finals, taking to an alliance consisting of 2056 and 217 into a rubber match, losing by 5 pts.

In my opinion, 340 demonstrated an ideal of FIRST very well here: To offer help to another team with no expectation of anything in return.

And if I haven't said in enough, thank you to the members of team 340 for all your help. You ladies and gentleman are a great team and greater friends!
