Team 1098 got to sit by the Thunderchickens and the RoboWranglers in St. Louis. In addition to having great robots, they've got great team members. Everyone was very nice, and they clearly have lots of fans rooting for them. You guys did a fantastic job, and left everyone around you feeling really excited and proud for you!

Your team names are awesome. Maybe we should have a team naming contest so that we can come up with something cool. (We're not The GI's anymore. We wanted to use Rockwood Robotics to show our schools and community that we are representing them. We could use a little style, though.)

Thanks for the great experience in St. Louis. Sometime I'd like to contact someone with those two teams to see how they organize the groups and structure the season. They're certainly doing a lot of things right with a fantastic group of kids and mentors!!

Good luck as your season continues! We're going to OK City, and we'd love to do well enough to meet up with you again in Atlanta.
