No one can beat Mr.Volcano's white boy dance. Stand back and be amazed by his skills...
Or just point and laugh. Either way.

ok, why team 109 (S.P.A.Z. tek) is unique?

for starters we have two schools (probibly 1 after i graduate this year)

i am the only senior on my team

i am the first student to be on the team for 4 years

our team colors are blue and orange

our robot has always been bright orange and usually a cube

the robot is student built

there was a movie filmed at our school

and finally we were the only team that was not designed to cross the field in 2000, instead we just flipped out the other alliences balls with our poker.

one more thing our theme song in 2000 was magic carpet ride by steppenwolf

[Robocardgrl5]

For 4 yrs we had always had the same mentor/teacher and engineers. During the summer he left our school and went to our rival school meanwhile hiding it from us. He took a job as vice principal and started a robotics team there. Not only did he leave but he tried to take our engineers and his contacts with him. The great team of engineers stuck by us but kept this all a secret. So with our 1 and only mentor gone we were left high and dry. At our school robotics is also a class. We were given a new math teacher to help but he was very mean, rigid, and didn't know too much about robotics. we tried to work with him but he wasn't interested. so we had our engineers come in and try to set up a new cirriculum since our mentor took everything with him. Then like our mentor he decided he had some issues and had to leave the math department. Thus again leaving us without any help. Once again we were passed on to another math teacher. One of whom wasn't the favorite on anyone's list. We started having meetings and decided we had to start from scratch. so from the garage of the school with no heat we began our season. So then we had a new mentor one who also had no idea of what to do and our engineers. Our engineers' company hardly had enough money to give so we had to fund raise it all. We had raffles, worked concessions at U of M (State is better), worked with lego league, sold pizza kits, and collected pop bottles. There was alot more but those were the main ones. With 13 memebers this season seemed bleak but we still worked hard and got to the quarter-finals each regional.

I noticed. I was upclose an personal when you guys were testing out in the pits. It was pretty unerving watching those balls literally disappear.

Number 95#s robot came to be known as the "popcorn popper" in the 237 circle of members, just because of how fast you guys had your motors set to spin in Quincy MA during the scrimmage before shipping!
