Re: The Rise and Fall of FIST Teams through time.

73 is a perfect example of this. I think it was 1995-1997 that it was Harris Corp and Edison Tech. I think it was 1996 that they (Tigerbolt) won the Championship (then Nationals). Anyone from that day remembers the fear of the little tigerbot that dominated that game. They died in 1997 due to funding issues (Harris is a military company), and logistics with the schools, as well as engineer burnout (only 5 engineers).

In somewhere around 1999 they were picked back up by RIT, and then a year or so later gained sponsorship by B&L. They re-rose as team 73 once again and continued through 2005.

This year, they lost their funding again, but their students & mentors were adopted by our team, and we are pushing to get them back up and running with their own funding again next year. The rise and fall of this team has been truely difficult, but hopefully we will see their return next year.

Excellence - is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.
