Whats unique about ur team?

[Heather 45]

After reading through the question and through everyone's replies, I realized that no one from my team replied. I am not surprised because to them, it seems to be more of a girl question than one for our "manly men" to answer. I think the thing that makes our team unique is the fact that we all get along. Of course, at times we get on each other's nerves, but that may happen because we spend so much time together. Not only are we team mates in one of the most well-known teams, but we are friends. We hang out together outside of our shop where we work. We go to the movies together, we bowl together, we do everything friends do together. The Technokats are a very tight-knit circle of friends and it is incredibly important to us to be friends with everyone. When rookies come aboard, we go out of our way to make people feel welcome and we go out of our way to become friends with them. I have seen many teams who don't get along with some members, but that doesn't happen to us. We participate in many teambuilding activities where the WHOLE team (teachers, engineers, students, and parents) goes out and does something fun. We might go bowling, go cart-racing, or even paintballing.

Also, the Technokats are unique in that we all work so hard to achieve a common goal. Many stay all night working on the robot to get it completed and in top shape. The whole team is devoted to making things work, being the best at our task ahead of us, and having a good time. We like to have fun and even when crunch time comes flying upon us, we find ways to have fun. We find things to make us laugh and relieve some stress. Like on Monday, I was stressed out about getting things done. We ordered pizza and then Brett brought in a CD for me to listen to. I have never laughed so hard in my life because it was a country version of the infamous song "Gin and Juice". That may sound like nothing, but we do little things like that to make everyone feel better.

The Technokats take pride in the fact that we are a team and that we are all friends. Friendship is the key to making a successful team and robot. I hope everyone at one time or another will have as great of a team as I do.
