Re: Teams I'm Inspired By

I never did make my post about which FRC teams inspire me. I mean, in particular, as every team does

The other members of my own team do, but I'm not here to talk about them.

One of our mentors always tells us to take what you do and make it the most important thing in the world; become a master at it and excel. The teams that do this are what really inspire me in everything I do.

That's what 2062 does with safety. They've taken their very professional, well-run team and steered it in a great direction. They're quite possibly the most safety conscious team in FIRST, and they have a Championship UL Safety award to prove it. Team 2062's also a very organized, well-run team. They know what they're doing and are smart about it. I'd bet money they have an RCA in the very near future.

Other teams I've noticed that have had a direct impact on me for various reasons... 2970, with no FIRST experience directly, leading an alliance with legendary teams like 33 and 102 to the semifinals in Newton was pretty awesome. They basically show that if you're smart and resourceful, you can do anything. 1625 and 1918 achieved greatness with simple but VERY effective robots that didn't require a massive machine shop to build. 2826 is the epitome of the Rookie All-Star; they look like they've been doing this for years and are going to be a force to be reckoned with in Wisconsin Regionals to come. Never forget Wisconsin vets 1675 and 93; they're both extremely graciously professional that never fail to impress me in some way or another.
