2007 Monty Madness

[Mike Schroeder]

The Definition of what a Chairmen's Award Team was shown to me again today. As Libby said, 869,1403, & 2070 called in their substitution and I jumped for joy, i was going to get to see my kids compete in eliminations . so i ran to the pits to help prep the robot, to see my pits empty, and I won't lie i got a little discouraged. the thought came to me to ask if we can use 103's spare robot, and 103's response was a whole hearted lets do it, so things set into motion 103's team literally split into 2 one 103 team and another extension of team 1923, especially the coach of 1923, Cassie who had the wonderful chance to be opposite 103 for that one match(been in that situation before, never fun) I was awestruck by the fact that 103 was behind us 100% I mean we are their competitors at this point. When the match score was announced i was floored we actually pulled off a win against 103 and their alliance. At one point i walked over to Mr and Mrs Beck and said "I'm sorry". they responded to me, Don't be.


So for those of you looking to make yourselves a better "Chairmen's Worthy" Team, keep in mind 103 got no benifit from this, and they cannot use this in their chairmens award submission. 103 is What the Chairmen's Award is.


My eternal thanks and gratitude go out to all of team 103 for their continued gracious professionalism, and all around amazing sportsmanship
