Question of the Week!!! (9/3/04)

[Billfred]

I guess I'd be interested in spending a year on a rookie team. I could be the Ghost of Seasons Past. (yeah, the reference doesn't work so well since the teams haven't had a past, but bear with me.)

But barring that, I'd be interested in working with 1398 (Keenan HS here in Columbia). These kids came out of nowhere and swept up all of these awards (Imagery at Peachtree and Rookie All-Star at Palmetto), not to mention they've got this sheer energy that rivals that of many veteran teams. (I could hear them quite well on Archimedes. And they were in Curie!) I just can't say enough good things about them...they're going to go places in FIRST.

As for a more veteran team, I can't say for sure. There are just so many teams who have done so well over the years that it's hard to say I could learn more from one than the other. And then there's the question of what I'd want to learn. If I wanted more experience for the robots, I'd go with 71 or 237, both of which can build simply mind-blowing robots. For the inspiration stuff? 47, hands down.

Oh, wait. You wanted one. I'll get back to you on that.
