Re: Teams losing lots of seniors

heh. team 1712, which is a rookie team, is loosing 3 seniors. the problem is though that I, being one of them, am the only one who knows all the tools and building techniques, one of the other ones is increadible with design and programming, and the last one has built robots for the show Battle Bots, so knows how to make the entire robot system. so my team will really be loosing everyone who knows what theyre doing. it kind of sucks.

Re: Teams losing lots of seniors

Oh yes, I was going to comment on this as well. Moojoe pretty much has cut all the necessary peices for our chassis himself and is the go to guy when we need something cut, drilled, screwed, ect.; Our lead programmer is the best we have and has pretty much studied all the aspects of programming and pretty much begs to have the programming laptop with him at all times; lastly, our head robot designer and driver has been on battlebots and has quite a bit of experience with robots already. And all three of these guys are leaving after this year... fun.

But luckily, we always have somebody around that is watching these guys and going out and learning this stuff for themselves, so we are trying to transfer that knowledge from them to other members of the team. It will be tough for next year, but we have a bunch of great mentors and college students helping us out so I think it will be fine. Will just cause everybody else to work harder and show off their true potential.

Re: Teams losing lots of seniors

As a graduating class we want to win at everything this year (at least everything we can). We are aiming for the Chairman's Award at Nationals and we want to win the the AZ Regional. We also want to win the MATE ROV Competition and hopefully come back and mentor the team....

Re: Teams losing lots of seniors

Our team is usually an all senior team so we loose basically all our team members every year. However, because of the way the class is set up, most of us on the team have taken multiple technology/manufacturing classes. So we aren't completely lost.
