Shawn,
This is one awesome tool as it serves sooooo many purposes. Congrats to 188. Are there any copies available for sale/to see?

I love giving examples of "high water mark" products from around FIRST to my team as inspiration and "targets" and this is certainly now on my list .

[McGurky]

that is an awesome Idea!!! we might have to give something like that a try!!!

I've started recording some of this team history in a Wiki, but it hadn't occurred to me to print it out. The beginnings of our history: http://www.vexforum.com/wiki/index.p...orer_Post_2036. Thanks for the idea.

I soo need to see a copy of this book and catch up on my 188 history.

[Mr. Lim]

Thanks for all the feedback on the book!

The plan is absolutely to make copies available to anyone who wants one, however we have still have a revision cycle planned for this summer before it's officially released.

After working with several 188 alumni over the years at CMP, I have become aware of the quality of people Woburn Robotics produces. Please add me to the list for distribution once it becomes available. This is exactly what teams need to do, preserve their history. And, I am not looking for a free copy, I will pay.

I would also like to catch up on Team 188 history, add me to the list please!

We made our first run (including the one pictured) by ourselves. We printed the covers on glossy card-stock at Staples, and the inner spreads on our printer in our robotics lab. The book's dimension are a standard 8.5" x 11" letter sheet folded in half.

We are trying to find a local print shop to sponsor us by helping to print our next run.

I would love to have a book with all of my team's history in it; however, no one ever took any and I'm probably the only person who would bother (and I'm leaving after next year). It's a shame, the mentors on my team don't seem particularly interested in anything except in winning and if we don't, oh well, whatever. I only really became interested in FIRST's history recently (from Chief Delphi) and I wish I could build a stronger team that was respected by others. This seems like an excellent way to start.
