I can second that. For many people in FIRST, there are teams that cause you to really get hooked to FIRST. For me, the Bomb Squad was that team. As a member of 967, in 2003, I got to see their team and their robot and wanted to emulate them. The next year, I was privileged enough to invite them to be on our alliance at St. Louis. They were the team that I had no interest in opposing and the team that I knew would work well with us because that was the type of people they were and are.
Since then, I have mentored a team in Minnesota, 1816, who found a similar team in their first regional in Wildstang 111 and am now a lead mentor for a rookie team here in Chicagoland and am greatly looking forward to seeing both Wildstang and the Bomb Squad at the Midwest regional.
To the Bomb Squad, Wildstang, and the countless other teams who have been role models for students, mentors, and teams in the past, thank you.

As others have said, let us know if there is anything that we can do to help.
