VCU competition of 2004.
day one- robot did really well in prelims
day two- most of team spared by Norowalk stomach plague, robot climbs its way into 11th place
day three- 3rd place alliance, beaten only by the guys who went on to win everything. *i think*

it was a blast.

1. Saturday at Nationals, 2003 - We won our first Division at Nationals, in addition to winning the Entrepreneurship award.

2. Saturday at Philadelphia, 2003 - We won the first of three consecutive Regional Chairman's Awards (a steak we hope continues!).

3. Saturday at Nationals, 2005 - We won a National Judge's Award, National Chairman's Runner-Up, and our friends on the Vex team from Singapore brought home Vex's highest prize.

Runner Up (not really a Top day itself but one that would be indicative of the future of our team): Ramp Riot 1, 2000 - The team hosted one of the first off-season competitions in the area for the first time. Since then, the event has grown to twice the size but is still the hilight of our offseason every year.

116 top competition moments (my father already pointed out some of the far more important moments):
2001 VCU Saturday-4th seed, challenges #1 in the semifinals (only 4, 5-team alliances that year)
2005 Annapolis Friday-wins Autodesk Visualization Award, Xerox Creativity Award. Dave Lavery wins Woodie Flowers Finalist Award
2005 Championship Friday- 116 goes 3-1-1, ranked 17th at end of day in Archimedes. More significantly, FVC Team 18 finishes ranked 5th, and is selected into the #2 alliance by team 27. Along with Teams 27 and 48, 18 wins the FIRST VEX Pilot Competition, completeing a 12-2 championship season.

Almost every day on team 25 seems like the best day we have had, but anyways. I can by no means pick 3 days because that is incredibly hard. We have had great moments through our 10 years. However, there is one event that sticks out.

Winning the championship in 2000 changed team 25 forever. On one end, we always built great robots after that and had to worry less about building bad robots. Thanks to the support of Bristol Myers Squibb. After winning, we were able to get BMS to support 5 other teams in the region and we ourselves started to spread the word of FIRST like its suppose to be. As the RINOS motto goes - We build FIRST to last. As you can see, this one event led to hundreds of other great moments.
