GRT(192) Pen Pals

[Vivelation]

Alright, to elaborate:

We started this during the build period and it worked. So basically, we email other teams, and our members continue writing to members of different teams. Then, at competition, we were able to meet those people who we talked to, and I just lost my train of thought. It's not a dating service, it's not really a pen pal thing, it's more of a thing where we can meet new people (make new friends, however cheesy that sounds), and uh, meet more new people.

So for example, during the build period, we would comment on the status of the robot (i.e. oh we're gonna start wiring Fri, or, we're having issues w/our arm), or animation, etc. And then there were times when we (people from other teams and GRT people) would just talk about random things (i.e. weird fashion, college plans)

I guess I might as well mention some teams we've been corresponding with (and met at regionals/nats)... 1097 Jesuit, 695 Beachwood, 696 Clark Magnet, 647 Cyberwolves, 365 MOE. Other teams we've contacted are 294 Beach Cities and 245 Adams.

sorry for that being so long, but hopefully that clears some things up and explains a little bit more. (if you're interested, you can contact us through PMs, AIM, email, or reply to this thread too) email: athalapaneni@gunnrobotics.org, vlin@gunnrobotics.org
