Keep your heads up

Well this year my team hasnt been the best, but were going to nationals. I think that every captain should give a nice little speech like this to there team, because most team members dont realize this themselves.

This is what i told my team

I've heard some people saying that we got to Atlanta by luck. Well, we did in way but that doesnt mean we are a weak team. By no means are we a weak team. We may not be wildstang, but we're a team that truly follows FIRST's mission plan. We have strong support from our parents and sponsors. The students do most of the work. The focal point of our team is the students, and we give back to the community. We have all worked our butts off for the last half of the year. Even though I may not be the captain, i want everyone on our team to be proud of what
we done. We've overcome problems and truly became a great team. Now when we go to nationals, when people see our robot, be proud. I want everyone to take a look at the robot when we get to Nationals and just think that your a reason that we're here. Think about how amazing it
is that we built that robot. I realized that in Milwaukee and told Joe M. and we both realized that everything we've done this year is unbelievable. I want everyone to get that feeling.

Now when we go to Nationals, I want everyone to realize that we have a 1st class robot. The problems are behind us and now lets show the world what we can do. Were as good as you think we can be. All and all, I just want everyone to be proud of our robot and our team no matter what happens.
