Team Overdrive Joining FRC

[Lowfategg]

Hello to all! I have an announcement from Team Overdrive, the World Champion FTC this year, we are going FRC for the 2009 season! We are looking forwards to seeing and getting to know the FRC community.


And just to set it straight now... NO we did not name our team after the 2008 game, FIRST named it after us!

Congratulations, guys! I saw your bot at NYC, a truly awesome machine. And dominant, too. Sort of like the Simbots of FTC, I guess.

You guys are surely going to make a great, and lasting, addition to the FRC program in years to come.

So, will you be coming over to CT in '09, or anytime soon?

Wow! Congrats, I was one of the Judges for FTC the past few years in ATL and you are an amazing team I can't wait to see what you bring to FRC in 2009 best of luck!

Its great to see a powerhouse FTC team making the move up to FRC.

I will find it very interesting to see how you guys do this year. Let us know when you receive your FRC team #, if you haven't already.

Well reg is not open for FRC yet, or is it? My guess it will be something like 27XX.

Thank you, yes it was a great year and we hope this next one is even better.

Congrats on jumping up to FRC. With it there may come great challenges in regard to the increase in size and expense but so long as you put the same time, energy, and commitment into FRC as you did FTC you will find the rewards are nearly immeasurable.

Wait, Tyler, so its finally decided?

If so, then I look forward to working with you.

Sadly no, Team Overdrive does not have the time or money to do both.

I don't think Team RUSH would like that.

Team Overdrive,

It's great that you guys are coming over to FRC! Any word on whether or not you will be keeping the team name?
