Re: pic: The new sign in hammond
We were all pretty happy at the unveiling. The mayor was there and he said a couple words along with some people from the school city. They then pulled off the cover (which was duct taped on) and a round of applause broke out (even from some guy driving on the street next to us). Everyone, for at least a half an hour afterwards, just took pictures of the drive team/whole team/mentors crowding around it.

Re: pic: The new sign in hammond
Actually, at the Hammond Team Banquet this year, the mayor proposed painting 'Rosie the Robot', Hammond's mascot, on the water tower. After being told that would be too expensive to the city, the mayor announced he would put up two signs, at the entrances to the city (from Chicago and from Indiana). He also awarded plaques to each of the students, proclaiming their names and displaying the local newspaper's coverage.
Although I can't speak on behalf of Team Hammond in any way, this was personally a great moment. |

Re: pic: The new sign in hammond
That is awesome.
Congratulations to Team Hammond, you definitely deserved it! I think FIRST should move its headquarters to Hammond to recognize the "FIRST Robotics City" (also because I could drive up and help design the game if help is needed) Hats off to everybody who is or was on team 71 . |

Re: pic: The new sign in hammond
Your lucky if the SCHOOL remembers your team (fortunately the principal at Wilson is seeing to it that they do).
