Re: What FIRST Is About

It was beneficial in many ways to have FRC 16, Bomb Squad, come to the new rookie Alamo Regional. They are a stabilizing influence among teams. They are a team that makes itself available to help and support others. They compete brilliantly and with a plan and they are excellent role models for how to succeed in FRC with a lot of brain power, elbow grease, and initiative. It is all showcased in their business plan. At one point, as I was preparing to leave, 2 members of the team - a student and a mentor, approached me and asked me to listen to a practice presentation. In doing so, they not only allowed me to have a glimpse into all of that brain power, elbow grease, and initiative, they allowed those who were near me to have a glimpse as well. It was a very satisfying moment to see them win the Entrepreneurship Award that reflected how hard they work, year after year, although a lot of people don't have a clue about the level of excellence that this Hall of Fame team maintains, consistently. Initiative and brain power are a big part of their effort but its the elbow grease that really gets the job done and gets very little of the attention. I was blown away by Bomb Squad.
