Favorite Team Moments

[WinterPoet]

My very favorite moment would have to be winning the Spirit Award. Seeing the team slowly realize that those little hints were about us was so fulfilling. It was the first award our team won, and it was a really great way for the seniors to end the year.

My second favorite moment (and a close second at that!) happened at our second competition last year. Another team presented a video about their team loyalty and how much they bonded, and by the end of it I was sobbing and hugging every teammate in site. My family situation can be rocky, so it really hit me how much I loved having my robotics family, and knowing they were always going to be there for me.

My top two favorite moments:

1. Winning Chairman's at the 2016 UNH district event. Our chairman's team graduated in 2015 so winning the award was a very emotional moment.

2. Bringing Chop Shop to it's first regular season finals appearance (alliance captain!) (we lost ). This happened at the 2016 Pinetree district event. Another emotional moment for us.

My favorite moment on 1523 had to have been Roboticon 2015.

We were regional finalists in Orlando, event finalists at Mission Mayhem, and event finalists at Panther Prowl. Two of those times we were finalists against 2384 and 179, us being paired with 2383, so there was a lot of rivalry between 2384 and 2383.

We made it to the finals, going up against 179 and 2384 for the third time this season. We won the first match, they won the second. Then... for the third something crazy happened. It took ages for the scores to be released. Then, they came up, I was praying we would win, and take home the gold, and we tied. 180-180 in Recycle Rush. I have never seen anything like it.

1523 had no batteries left (thinking it was the last match), so we actually had to borrow 2383's battery. And with 2383 powering 1523, we managed to win the regional. I don't think there has ever been a time where i've felt so many emotions. It was absolutely awesome... Huge thanks to 2383 and 2797 for such an awesome event.

My favorite moment is hard to decide. It was an awesome traveling to Worlds for the 2015 season, but it was amazing walking down on stage at WPI DCMP knowing we had won one of NEs District Chairmans. Each one everyone on the team was overfilled with joy as we had made it to Worlds and even were an alliance captain on the Newton Field.

Seeing our robot work it's full potential at offseason events after devasting robot failures throughout the season and DCMP this year was also amazing.

It's hard to decide what the best moments are as I can think of many as being on a robotics team is just simply awesome.
