Team 1219 Robot -- L'Eagle Rapide.

It's not just about the robot.

Inspiration.


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NYaOqDSeqE

This robot is mainly made of parts that do come from scrap, from previous years. Although none of these scrap parts were deemed in "excellent" condition, they had to do. I would call this robot economy-based.

With a new team, primarily juniors, it was a year to teach the younger ones how to do basic tasks properly and safely. With a new team, it was a year of simplicity and "kitbotism". With less teachers than before, relative to the years before 2007, students would have to fill every department possible to keep this team running. Of course, the teachers are to be thanked, for keeping robotics alive, and keeping all communications linked.

So are our sponsors, Apotex Pharmaceuticals Inc., and Humber River Regional Hospital.

Without them, we wouldn't be here.

And so we have a junior team, full of eager students, to learn. This year was the year of learning, so we taught them about "default" or KOP (or systems you can base on the KOP) mechanisms, and the related. More complicated content is to be learned in the summer.

And with power tools on the verge of its own full deterioration, we had to think creatively out of our situations.

We would also like to thank Ms. Karen Rosenthal for graciously giving us two pocket drills, and an industrial-based drill. It was given as a reward for helping a former-teacher build 2 crates for two other TDSB schools. Gracious Professionalism, non?
This has saved us for the last days before shipping.

I say, bravo. Bravo to our team, and bravo to those who's helped us.
Bravo. They know it's about fun. They know our plans, vision, and the reason why we built this specific bot, without objection.

The revival is just around the corner.

As next year brings CNC and welding.

And Yes, I would consider myself a Junior (2nd year in Robotics; 3rd year in High school)

-----------

This robot is meant to be fast, and I'm sure you know why. It helped juniors learn dramatically, and it works well.

Hint, why: Tertiary.

I'm never clear.

Re: Team 1219 Robot -- L'Eagle Rapide.

It looks like a great effort. All across FIRST different teams engage in inspiration in different ways. There is the video on youtube from team 118 (at the end of week 3, as I recall), that shows what can be done by a large team with massive technical resources, and there is this example of grassroots determination by a small team working to rebuild. I applaud both efforts equally. Anyone who thinks FIRST is about the robot, has missed the key point... it is about the people.

I wish you the best of luck this season, and second your appreciation for the hard work that Karen Rosenthal puts in to FIRST. Even on this side of the country her efforts are very much appreciated.

Good luck, sorry we won't see you at GTR... the new MS Seattle Regional was just too close to home to pass up,

Jason

Indeed.

I've just noticed. One of your past members is our only mentor this year. (Ivan Wong)

That's very ironic! He goes to uWaterloo now and he is such a great craftsman (He believes in letting us do the work and his teachings are greatly appreciated; methods of handcuts, etc.).

Re: Team 1219 Robot -- L'Eagle Rapide.

Ah! So you guys are the team that Ivan is working with! He was able to come out and spend some time with us back at the start of the build period, too, so he is one of the rare FRC mentors to have worked with teams on both sides of the country this year.

We have been so inspired by the many Ontario teams that it is nice to know one of our "graduates" is able to give something back. I hope there will be a few more volunteering at the Waterloo regional, too.

It's great to have people help each other out through gracious professionalism. He's been a real supporter and teacher of tools. He's always told me stories about his 'good ol' team. Seems like there's a lot of tradition per team.

He's told me, after I got my acceptance (into Shad), as well as my scholarship and bursary, to go to Shad regardless of the money situation. And hey, I'm fundraising.

Yes of course. Thanks for the analysis.

These parts were found in the back hallway. (We don't have a room )
