Urban, minority, disadvantged, continuation High School. We were the place where the losers went. We were the guys on the wrong side of the tracks. The gang-bangers, drug abusers. Robotics started in 1998. FIRST in 1999.

I've been waiting to hear there was a team like this. Hoping for one. Call it a love of the underdog, the desire to see the disadvantaged become advantaged.

The big lesson we learned from robotics competition is that our past does not limit our future, that superior attitude will beat out big budgets. Our team name is Odyssey - because it is the Journey, not the destination that is important.

There's a thread somewhere on this forum wondering why the Chairman's award is so important, and to me what you said about the journey, not the destination, being the important thing is something I hope everyone realizes one day.
