Inspirational teams

[Sperkowsky]

I made a quick post before but I think I am going to make a longer one talking about all the teams who have inspired me.

In 2014 my rookie year I did not know much about FRC and for lack of better words we were terrible.

Our robot was a mess but at the time I just thought everyone's robots were a mess. That was until I showed up at our regional. Our pit neighbor was team 3940 Cybertooth and I saw this beautiful purple powder coated robot. I was like woah they are good. I had no idea how they did in the competition all I knew was their robot looked really professional. Ironically because of luck we seeded higher then them which to me made me think we beat them. I have a good laugh at that now.

4039 was also at that event and really showed me how crazy people get about team image. I did not realize how good their robot was at the time but man those people liked their rainbow.

Later that season after the event I saw team 254s reveal video and was amazed. I have watched that video more time then I care to admit. I then looked back at their 2013 "reveal" video and was amazed once again. I then ventured on to youtube. Where I watched every single 118 reveal I could find and was again amazed at what people did in FRC.

Through the summer of 2014 I did a lot of watching and started reading stuff here. Now adays a few other teams that inspire me are probably 1678, 359, 195, 610, 27, 2056, 148, 179, 67 and 1241.
