Team 2826 WAVE Robotics

[Tyler Olds]

All,

Thank you very much for your kind words. It brings great joy to see that Wave has made a positive impression on the community. We as mentors try to teach our students that this program is much more than a high school science fair; that we are part of something much bigger and better and that the best thing is that the more a student puts into FRC, that the more they will benefit in the future once they hit the real world.

Wave is very lucky to have both very dedicated students and mentors who display an immense passion for the program. Old people like myself who have been in the program a long time know what this program means and how it is changing our society.... but to see a new student, mentor, or parent finally "get it" and have the light bulb turn on is a truly what makes it worthwhile.

A big shout out to all the teams that helped make a difference this year to Wave: 93, 1675, 111, 2702, 1675, 2194 and many others that I am sure that I am missing. It is as a community that we come together and improve as a whole.

We hope to see you all at IRI and at the EAA AirVenture this summer!

WAVE Robotics were absolutely awesome all weekend. This was the first chance I got to see them this year and I was blown away.

When 1717 picked 67, I thought the fate of Curie was sealed. Then when 71 picked 2826, I thought to myself "holy crap, this is going to be crazy".

Congratulations on an amazing robot and a great team. I hope to see you at IRI.
