Team 1038 LEHS got the same mentor crew that existed as Sunny D Check out the history, you'll see evidence that they still exist. Team 144 - NWHS 2001 National Finalists, 2002 National Semi-finalists, Team 1038 - 2004 National Semi-finalists. Of course those last three years needed great alliance partners too!

Back on topic - I think it, "The Grady Cup," should rotate year to year...IRI, Beantown Blitz, BBS Brawl, California Robot Games, etc. and could have the regional "best of the best" sponsored to compete. It would have to have some careful selection criteria to take the luck of strong vs. weak FRC pairings out.
