Goals for 2012

Ed's is my favorite so far!

1. Continue to inspire and engage a new generation of firsters. We have a large amount of seniors and new students. The passing of the torch is important this year for our future growth as a team and for the growth of these new students as well.

2. Have the "Ahaha" moment before our first regional. I will explain what I mean by this. We have the past few years redesigned our robot or enhanced a certain feature based off more competitive designs after our first regional. While this constant improvement is part of the design process I would like to be one of the teams that gets it right the first time this year. The team that other teams look to base their redesigns off of.

3. Build a more simple robot: This is our first year attempting 2 robots so they need to be simple in order to pull this off. Our drivers grow tremendously over the season and continuously work on their technique and skill. I would like to see this growth start earlier on and have them tackle the challenges of adapting to the new robot well before it's first practice match.

4. Build a more simple robot: Doing one thing well is almost always better than doing everything. We have spent time this off season analyzing old games preparing our minds to attack this new challenge. The success robots have in the competition season is directly related to how the teams start the 6 weeks
