Re: Archi-medes!
Alright well 1902 if you see 816 lacking in the spirit department get them involved with you guys cheering. That would be great and very much appreciated. Even though I have to say this is the best group spirit wise that we have had in the longest time. It is pretty great to hear them cheering for us everytime our number is announced. But yeah like Q said awhile back some of us should go out to lunch together one day if possible, we all post on here all the time, and it would be cool to actually spend time with the people behind the posts.

Re: Archi-medes!
Ehhhh we really don't have one. But I have one of the freshmen thinking of one for Atlanta. I am sure I will be thinking of one on my 14 hour drive down there. 2 days until I leave. 3 days until everyone gets there. The anticipation is killing me. ha.

Re: Archi-medes!
How many teams from Archimedes are going to the Braves game Fri night? If you aren't going to the game, what is your team going to do?
I have another question---what type of recording system do you use to record the video from the field? We usually bring a VCR, but it is a hassle to get the VCR set up with out a monitor--I don't know if it is on the correct channel, what speed the tape is set, etc. I'm not up to date on digital recording devices. Some advice would be appreciated. |

Re: Archi-medes!
Team 2424 is a rookie team from Bixby, OKlahoma. They are 1 of the 24 rookie teams we started here in Oklahoma.
Only 2 Okie Rookie teams are coming to the Championship. (the other team is 2352 Metal Meyham--they are in another division, and won the Rookie All Star award. 2352 is sponsored by the Chickasaw Nation (the same Native American Nation that Astronaut John Harrington is from) In fact, John was a part of our Regional Planning Committee, and spoke at our September Team Summitt, our Kickoff, and was a judge at our OKC regional. Team 2424 Bixby Robotics is in the Archimedes Division. As all rookies are, they are feeling a little overwhelmed--but very excited. They have a Championship countdown on their website. At the OKC and KC regionals, the veteran teams were placed on the ends of the aisles, and mixed in with the younger teams to provide guidance and help. It also helped the pit area to look more "balanced"--in other words, all the veterans weren't on one end of the pits with the cool pit displays, etc. When visitors/VIP walked thru the pit, it had an even distribution of veterans and rookies. Whoever is near our rookie buddies 2424---they are great folks, get to know them, they are from a small town--look after them for us. We will check on them often too. The really neat thing about them, is that the kids wanted to do FIRST so badly, that they do most of the work. The teacher doesn't have to "herd" them at all--like many rookie teams. Their kids are really awesome--so like I said before--get to know them if you have the chance--they are really cool. They had such an impact on their community that they were awarded the Engineering Inspiration award check out their website http://www.bixbyrobotics.org/ |

Even if they aren't near us I will still go and get to know them. I know that my teams rookie year we did not have many people that wanted to do things on the robot. And to hear that they want to do things is a great thing. And if they are cool people that's even better I love meeting cool new people. And I will have to thank them for the countdown I couldnt find one before =(. |

Re: Archi-medes!
Okay yeah and so we can't forget about the one lone Brazilian team 2575(White Hurricane) on Archimedes! (I think there are 2 more brazilian teams on the Curie division though) So I say we give them a nice FIRST welcome in Atlanta. Plus, I like them already cuz they are representing my home country and state what a combo, w00t.
GO ARCHIMEDES! |
