For anybody that was at the Silicon Valley Regional event at the San Jose Event Center, in San Jose, California. They probably saw our drivetrain, it seemed we were the only ones that used a timing belt pulled by pulley's

Quite a few people came by and commented on it. Though *when it works* it is effective, we had a LOT of problems with it. The tread slipped off numerous times and we broke 3 of those cheap tranny's they gave us. As one of my teammates said to someone who asked about our drivetrain: "Everyone likes our drivetrain but us"

It's a pain in the butt to maintain, but oh well.

btw, if you didnt know we are team 409
Don't worry we feel your pain too. We have a unique crab steer design that we were having problems with for a while but it is now taken care of for the most part. We like to refer to our robot in general as "A ballerina in a mosh-pit."

What makes 393/Full Metal Jackets Special...

~Our high school has an enrollment of 271 students and yet we have on average 30 kids on our team each year, after we make cuts!

~I am married to the team leader of team 234/CyberBlue, which makes for an interesting/stressful life at our house.

~This year, we have a female robot, named Scarlet!

~We have only one engineer and one parent volunteer to help us.

~Our adult leaders/mentors/students are like family.

And if u cant tell from that we are one of the few teams who have been in FIRST since 1992. Plus we've never changed sponsers or schools.
Actually, clark, we used to have NorthWestern school partnered with us as well. Also, we have had various team names. But you're right, we are one of the originals

We, 296, were the first only team in the whole of Quebec (the largest province in Canada) until this year, our 5th.

We seem to be the only Canadian team who shows up to the regionals in the new england area.

We have a crazy guy on our team who wears a chicken suit and runs around at regionals, although we have no mascot and no relation to chickens.

We never fundraise 'cause our school doesn't let us (there go all hopes for a chairman's award)

Our driver also makes up the larger half of the animation team, is the only programmer, does all the wiring, most of the pneumatics, and a fair portion of mechanical work.

Oh yeah, and we all speak french fluently.

Mascots. At our regionals we probably had the most diverse mascots than any other team. Pirates, astronaut suit, oh my. Those were some of the reasons why we got to be rookie of the year twice. Cheering sections comprised of our team and team 692 (all-girl team who stomped everyone at the Sacramento Regional). we made sure that we were the loudest and largest group there.

Our team does a lot of yelling at each other. It is just the cultural nature of many of the students on our team. Many of our students are Armenian and the language is said in a yelling angry sort of way. We are also a very diverse team although we have only 17 students. The nationalities on our team (in no particular order) are

Armenian
White
Chinese
Korean
Persian
Indian
Egyptian

Cool huh?

our team is made up of two schools and we absolutely HATE each other in everything else but robotics... for example:


3 years ago they cut down a large tree worth several thousand dollars in the middle of the senior quad

we retaliated by spray painting their gym and all over their brand new sports facilities

fights have been known to break out at parties, burger kings, anywhere else possible, especially sporting events

(edited)
We are also thinking of letting a third school join our team, and this school is another hated rival of my school, not so much of the other school, but it will be funny to see the three working together.

We went to the canadian regional last year, but this year it landed right during Spring Break. We went to BAE and UTC instead, easier for shipping too.

Yeah, 1129 is the rookie team here in Montreal who ended our term as the only montreal or quebec team.
