Team 217 - Thunderchickens

We might not be as good as 217, or the other traditional "powerhouse" teams... but we are better because of them.

Best statement I've seen in the entire thread.

My friends, my team, and myself look up to Team IFI for many reasons. We do NOT always agree with their methods, but we always agree with their outputs and results. I have kids on team 11 who out right hate the CADing of parts and sending them out to a shop, these are kids who don't get what exactly Team IFI is all about. But they do learn a heck of a lot each year when these teams unveil their robots and help us out each and ever year.

Of course, I would never want to leave out teams outside of IFI such as 111 and 71 in a "thank you for inspiring our team" thread.

I would have to say 217 is probably the most inspiring team for my team, 2851. Besides being the "little brother" of 217, our teams didn't have the best 'feelings' for eachother last year. And yet despite all of this we still respect eachother as amazing teams. If it weren't for 217, Crevolution wouldn't be the team it is now, to thrive to be as good as the Thunderchickens (and eventually beat them ) is our goal. It is not a very fun time when people mention a Sterling Heights team and they all of a suden think 217. It is because of this I love the Thunderchickens, they make us strive. O the leaps and bounds we made from our rookie year last year to this year, absolutely stunning in my opinion.

And also, i have heard the rumors about the TC robot being "mentor designed" and I know this not to be true. Many of my school mates on TC have told me so, and i highly doubt all 20 of my closest friends would be lying to me. Sterling Heights does not know that word 'conspiracy'.

So in the end, I want to thank the Thunderchickens. You handed us our biggest lose this year, and because of it our robot...well let's just say it's got a little more bit (see my profile picture to understand the pun)
