pic: Thank You 1114

[Arefin Bari]

I knew that we weren't the only team that is thankful to team 1114. In a very short time, they became very well known in the community. I have never heard anyone complain about this team or say "we didn't receive any help from them." I am privilaged to have the chance to associate with a team like Simbotics. You guys are a role model to all FIRST teams, you can bet that we will be cheering you on at championship. Good luck there.

Below is an email that we, team 1345 sent to team 1114.

Thank you Team 1114.

Hello Team 1114,

We, team 1345, would like to say thank you for all the help and support you provided us this 2007 build season. We couldn't have done it without you.

Team 1345 is a fourth year team. With very minimum resources and with only two mentors, it is very hard to get through every season. It would not have been possible for us to tackle more advanced designs without the help from our Canadian friends. I was going around and looking for a well built and unique chassis for a while. I still remember the night when I let Karthik know that we need to go a little bit more advanced with our designs and that we are looking for a strong and unique/modular chassis. Karthik didn't hesitate at all to get me in touch with the design team of team 1114. With their input, team 1345 was able to design and manufacture a chassis that can go out there, dominate on the field and not get pinned to a corner.

The gracious professionalism from Team 1114 didn't stop at helping with designs. When we were in need of some kit of part wheels, they were the first one to step up.

You guys are a role model for all FIRST teams. Every single kid from team 1345 appreciates you and hoping to see you guys soon. Good luck this season.


Sincerely,
Arefin Bari.
Mentor.
