Inspection Stories

[Lavapicker]

I love reading these stories! I'd like to say "right on" to LegoGeek and to keep it up. I know you felt great but you never know how much impact you had on the teams you helped and how others look at you and your team differently now too. Look, I remember Elliots deeds all these years later and even if my team takes a year off I still look to see how his old team 192 is doing.
Thank you too Seth. Would love to know how Elliot is doing today. I heard he went Ivy League? I'm sure he will change the world! I wish I could buy stock in him??
To Don, I can totally relate to your experience. It sounds like these kinds of things do go on at every regional. FIRST should collect these kinds of stories. They are the true examples of gracious professionalism and go unheralded which is probably how those helping would want it but they are very inspiring. They are the spontaneous acts of kindness that are done without any thought for reward. Maybe the inspectors who see these kinds of things can create a new award. Can you imagine reading what someone like LegoGeek or Elliot or the crew Don talked about read to the audience and then recognized with an award they could not possibly apply for. It may inspire more spontaneous acts? Then again, it would probably be hard to limit it to one group/act sometimes which could create hard feelings. Perhaps anyone/any team that helps to point of getting a team on the field should be recognized. Teams could perhaps nominate an inspector/team/person who went above and beyond in helping them. All good stuff this!!
