FIM Kentwood District

The Average Joes (3620) would like to thank the event organizers, volunteer corps, and our fellow competitors who made this event an FRC gem. No controversy, minimal technical difficulties, excellent layout, and a fine venue combined to make Kentwood one of our team's best competition experiences ever.

Pre-event analysis by Looking Forward proved very accurate, as usual -- except for our team*. Our alliance partners 2054 and 4482 were a pleasure to work with. Tech Vikes, as in previous years, have built a top-tier robot that will be a serious contender at every level. Their solo auto is beautiful and reliable. Intelligent Design was true to their name, delivering what they said they would (actually a bit more) during playoffs, even when their partners stumbled in one finals match.

Special thanks to the Robotarians (2959) for their gracious help to our team and many others throughout the event. One noteworthy example: during lunch, they helped 4482 diagnose a drivetrain problem, improving the competitiveness of one of the robots they would face in the finals that evening. Their recognition with the Gracious Professionalism award is well deserved.

Stryke Force (2767), BoB (85), and That One Team (4967) kept pressure on the field with consistent, smooth performances all through qualifiying rounds. Congratulations to 4967 on District Chairman's -- your team really has developed the complete FIRST package.

Also, congratulations to the Gearheads (5745) on a fine showing at your first event. You guys built a solid, reliable robot that was noticed by the scouts, and we were not surprised that you had already been selected when our turn came to make a final pick.

To the Average Joes: I am very proud of all of you. This was a better than average weekend, no doubt. If there is anything better than playing robots late on a Saturday, I have not found it yet.

* However, Jim Zondag did mention the Average Joes in his RoboZone pre-analysis for Week 2. Thanks, Jim!

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
