Re: Teams I'm Inspired By

I've only been involved in FIRST for a short period of time, so I have limited resources for team numbers and names, but I have most definitely been inspired by:

1902, Exploding Bacon. Like everyone has already said, they're just an amazing team. From the pits to the dance floor to playing "oink, oink, boom" in the middle of a local park, they're awesome.

Team 1071, MAX. GUS started out as the Tri-Town Duct Tape Bandits, MAX's turf included, but they soon got enough interest to start their own team. We're sister teams and we love working together. They're great people and they always have their contagious enthusiasm.

Team 839, Rosie Robotics. At World Championships in 2008, they played for their late mentor, and that inspired me greatly. The team is full of kind people and they always have fun.

Lastly, there's a team that I met at World Championships this past year that opened my eyes to what FIRST is really all about. I meat a team called W.A.F.F.L.E.S (Wild About Friends, Family, Legos, Engineering, and Science) from Ontario, Canada. This team was a mix of FLL and Jr. FLL kids, the ages ranging from 4-8. Not only did that show me how much young kids enjoy science and engineering, but they also told me about how they don't have sponsors or anything, it's just two families (siblings, cousins, etc.) who were close in age and they wanted to make a robotics team. FIRST gave them that opportunity. They inspired me the most.
