Montclair Mayhem: Congrats and Thanks.

[nalbonec]

Many thanks are due to the following individuals and
schools who went out of their way, exhibiting the
‘gracious professionalism’ which is the motto of
FIRST, to enable students from Allentown to
participate in the Montclair Mayhem event at Montclair
HS on Saturday May 14.

Mr. Paul Kloberg, the FIRST Senior Mentor from New
Jersey, who would not take “No” or “How could we
possibly do this?” as an answer, by coordinating with
his network of colleagues to get pre-rookie teams from
Allentown and West Windsor Plainsboro to field teams
and compete in the event.

Mr. Wayne Cokeley and his RaiderRobotix team #25 from
North Brunswick HS, for the time they spent
reconfiguring their “Evil Machine I” robot from the
2003 competition so that it would run in Montclair
Mayhem, for the guidance offered by students to show
our team the functionality of the robot and strategy
during game play, and for giving Hawaiian shirts to
our students, which made them look like a team in
addition to the camaraderie that made them feel like
part of the team.

Mr. Jim McGlashan and team #56 from Bound Brook HS,
who graciously offered their trophy for “Highest
Qualifying Score” to Allentown, since Allentown and
WWP split their trophy as one of the 3 teams in the
alliance.

Mr. Chris Gregory, the numerous Hightstown HS team
#1089 parents, mentors and students, who took care of
us throughout the long day, guiding us through the
logistics of the competition, and providing answers
and techniques to the challenges of getting a team
started with FIRST.

Montclair HS and team #555, for staging the facilities
for this impressive event, including the two
gymnasiums (one for the playing field and one for the
service pit), and food services area to keep the
several hundred students and parents energized
throughout the day.

The FIRST organization, which has created an
environment for students, teachers, parents and
communities to collectively work together and achieve
phenomenal things.


Thanks on behalf of Allentown,

Chris and Teri Nalbone
Future Team Parents
