Re: The Imminent Dissolution of Team 2065
As is echoed by most everyone here, don't give up!!!!
Let me give you some hope. Last year, team 2523 had maybe 5 total students during our build season for the robot, out of those, perhaps 3 were able to input serious amounts of work into the robot. We had one programmer who input the basic code, and one teacher who could weld. It took us working over 6 hours a day on the robot, every day (much more on weekends) and lots of stress, but if you hike up your pants and give it your all and never ever take "no" for an answer you can get it done. You'll be surprised what force of will can do. |

Re: The Imminent Dissolution of Team 2065
Just a reminder of what makes us who we are. True greatness is revealed when we face adversity and challenges, the easy stuff is effortless. Look to yourself for inspiration and those around you will step up.
A merge might work, or possibly sponsorship by the other team and a sharing of facilities. This game is easy to get into, a simple robot that can herd, move autonomously, and dump 7 balls can compete. $ is tough for everyone, again, look to the other team for help. In the end, look within youself to make sure you are doing what you feel is right and stick to the principles of FIRST. ![]() |

Re: The Imminent Dissolution of Team 2065
A big part of the success of any team is organization. The more organized a team in areas such as structure, defined roles, goals (short term and long term), budget, expectations - the stronger the chance of the team adjusting to changes such as the ones that your team is dealing with, and surviving. In the FIRST website, there are resources available for teams to look at in these areas.
The 2009 season sounds like it has been a difficult one for your team regarding all of the changes that it is facing. Hard work and dedicated effort can help the team begin again. If you have any specific questions or concerns, please feel free to pm me. Don't give up. Jane |
