 I don't even care if it doesn't work as well as they would like. YOU MADE IT. You may never use it, but you made it. AWESOME. Every year there has been 1 team (sometimes 2) that has done something that really stood out. This year 1 team has done 2 things that stand out.
Thanks guys. - rees2001 [more] |

Re: What's the most interesting thing about your team that's not on the Internet... Y
We took an entire wall in the electronics and coding room and laid corkboard for a full risk map. We have played a couple games on it now. We unfortunately have to stop before the start of build season, or we wouldn't be working on the robot.

The word "helix" is now banned among team 3481. I later made a board room suggestion meme to illustrate how we should have done things the first time: https://scontent-dfw.xx.fbcdn.net/hp...8b&oe=55C5F116

I'm sure that had we had more time to test and develop it, would have worked well, but our time was very limited that year since our sheet metal sponsor was really slow in getting us our metal. It kind of costs us the season  The fancy tall orange and blue structure in the back was supposed to be a lifting mechanism which we also had to throw out for time interests

Mike Corsetto used to be tall. But then he decided he didn't want to stoop to go under the truss last year, so he shrunk. He decided he liked being short for now (and apparently his fiancee likes it too--who knew???) (And I think he was trying to make me feel better because my son, themccannman, may have surpassed me.) Watch for modifications in the future....

There is a Subway next to our build space(its no more that a 20 second walk). We go there so much that the team is on a first name business with the employs, and we have "Subway runs". Witch involve several team members running to Subway for drinks, cookies, subs, or all of the above.
We fund a small portion of the team using script cards for Subway. We have even discussed funding the entire robot (not the whole team) on Subway script cards!!

We constantly argue over which mobile OS is the best. We use that to insult each other when we are poking for fun and/or angry at each other.
My avatar explains my stance on our debates. I already had an frustrated outburst at competition saying... "SHUT UP APPLE!" - which frightened a family next to me when leaving the pits Yep....Stuff gets weird sometimes on my team.

This year we have students from 2 different states, 7 different high schools, and the rest of team are home schooled.
Our rolling tool chest is named Jerry and the wiring team tool box is named Giant Red Tool Box of Doom. Our lead mechanical mentor doesn't wears pants. In 4 years of mentoring he has worn pants to meetings twice. He normally wears cargo shorts all year in New Hampshire! He is also known for bringing chocolate to meetings and getting in trouble for running in the building.

Using the word "Virginia" is forbidden.
It has no meaning to us and was never relevant in any manner whatsoever.

Early discussions of 3946 almost had the official team name as "Having Fun Storming the Castle" (a Princess Bride reference).
This is our fourth year, and we have exactly one four-year veteran. Jonathan was down on the floor of Carson to accept any alliance offers.
