Go to Post If mentors don't respect the students' desire to learn and take an active role in the construction, they're missing the point of FIRST. If students refuse to accept the knowledge and experience of the mentors, that's not independence - it's arrogance. - DB213parent [more]

Web Hug

A very special thanks is in order to the Chief Delphi
team for all your efforts this year to keep us all in
the loop and communicating. The forums have been a
powerful multiplier of the entire FIRST experience. We
(myself and the ComBBAT Veteran, Scott S.) are extremely
sorry we missed the web hug and wish to publicly
apologize for this unacceptable behviour. We got
caught up in the intense competition and simply forgot
about it. Being lifelong Floridians we also apologize
for the heat. It was HOT for this time of the year.

However, we are ecstatic about our performance. In this,
our 2nd year of competition, we scored 486 points in
our last qual match and moved to 49th place overall.
We enabled our partner, Team #57 Hot Bot to move from
50th to 10th. They then selected us as the bench
warmer in the tourney. We have never made it to a
tournament before, so it was a big deal.

Lastly a comment on alliances. I like them because they
add the real world aspect of having to communicate and
collaborate with others. There was some very detailed
discussion and stats on here about the chances of getting
all bad partners a few weeks ago. Well during the
competition it seemed like we were getting screwed. In
our 3rd and 4th match the partners hardly moved. In our
5th only the robot showed up, no drivers or human
players! (They got lost at dinner or some lame excuse
like that) However we also had Baxter B Squad, Heat Wave
and Hot Bot as partners! 50% good, and 50% bad.
It worked out.

Ciao to all and see you next year.

Note, the Boeing company and NASA KSC we are already
working on next year's KSC regional. You shuld plan
now to attend. It is the finest venue I have been to
and I promixe in Feb. or early March it will not be
so hot!
