We don't have as many wins as other divisions, but I think we do have the quality bots it takes to win it all. When 686 dropped, it shifted 1114 out of Archimedes, but it shifted 987, 1024 and 1124 into the division, which is a good trade in my book

I have been an offical engineer for 35 years. I have seen systems that
were a pile of junk and ran everyday. Seen the ones that are super
sophisticated that choked as soon as someone turned a light switch on.
The difference was "who" was running the machine and taking care of it.
Archimedes has Heart. It can make miracles happen. If you believe in your
division, your team and yourself anything can happen. I would rather be
the underdog anyday. It makes you work hard, adapt and overcome.
Previous wins don't make a great Alliance, Heart does and from the Posts that I have
seen we have plenty of it.
The best metrics are your own. Do you see the impact of your efforts in your community? Do you feel like you should/could have won Chairman's, but another team was even more deserving? That's how you know FIRST is really working. - dcarr [more]
