Who is team ####?

[2348humanplayer]

Aloha! I'm the coach for team 2348, the Cool Geeks from Moanalua High School in Honolulu, Hawaii! Pleased to meet all of you! Our team had our start in 2008, at the first FRC regional in Hawaii. We've competed every year since, and have one regional champion title under our belt from 2009. Just remember, "We're the coolest geeks you'll ever meet!"

Also, there are 10 kinds of people in the world. Us Cool Geeks and those who have no idea what we're talking about right now.

(If you get it, honorary Cool Geek for you!

FRC team 1023 Bedford Express out of Temperance MI! Our team this year is around 40 students, half the team consisting of freshmen! We are attending the Detroit District this season, and we are hosting our own district in Bedford for the first time! We placed 3rd in Michigan last year, and 14th in the world. We are definitely excited for this year's competitions, and plan on making into States, and eventually Worlds! Our robot this year is named Ms. Spocke, each letter representing an important mentor to our team. On behalf of Bedford Express, I hope to see you all at the competitions!

Speaking of Bedford (good transition ), I'm one of the mentors for team 964 out of Bedford, OH, whose rookie year was 2003.

We had to take a hiatus due to a lack of funding, but thanks to some awesome people (including the principle!), we will be starting back up in time for the 2014 season. We attend the wonderful Buckeye Regional in Cleveland, usually placing as close to last as humanly possible. That doesn't stop us from having fun, and maybe even learning something.

We've generally held around 10-20 students each year, even though the high school has over 700 students. Marketing and public awareness is something that we're working on. In 2008 we had a short news piece on a Saturday between the Olympics which definitely got a good amount of local attention.

Team 2383 the Ninjineers

Located in Plantation, Florida, we are seven years old and have really grown in the past few years. In 2011, we won our first FRC award ever at the Orlando Regional- the Spirit Award! Although not revered by some, we love to be spirited (and everyone else loves it too!) and have won every Spirit Award since then.

In 2012 (Rebound Rumble) we made the elimination rounds for the first time ever at an official FRC event at the Orlando Regional. Then we made it again in the South Florida Regional.

This year about 60 kids and 7 mentors are going on the trip with us to Orlando next week. We will also attend South Florida later in March, and hopefully Nationals in April!

Our signature cheer:
GO NINJA GO
TA TA KAI

FRC Team 2655 The Flying Platypi is a 5-year-old team based out of Colfax, North Carolina. We have 23 students this year (we are a purposely small team, with a cap of 25 members), and 9 mentors. We will be competing at the Peachtree Regional and our "home" regional in Raleigh NC. Last year we won the RCA at the NC Regional as well as the Website Excellence award at both regionals we attended. Our website is Team2655.org

Team 1124: The ÜberBots

We're going into our 10th season as a FRC team. We're from Avon CT and are consistently competitive in the CT Regional, having won in 2010, 2008, 2007, and 2006. Team membership ranges between 15 and 40 members (we're around 25 this year). We'll be at the CT Regional this year, and St. Louis (if we can find the money).

Team 1676: The Pascack Pi-oneers

Hello all! We are an 8-year-old team located in Northeastern NJ, originally founded in the 2005 season. Currently, we have 90 students on the team, who go to two schools that comprise the Pascack Valley Regional High School District. There are also about 15 mentors, 4 of whom teach in the district. We won Rookie All-Star in NJ in 2005, and have won Chairman's twice (2008 in NJ and 2009 in Palmetto). Additionally, we have won both the NJ and Virginia regionals in for the past two years. This year, as well as competing at the NYC regional, will be competing at the Mt. Olive and Rutgers MAR District events, and the MAR Championship and Champs in St. Louis if we qualify. You can find out more about us at our website, www.team1676.com.

We wish everyone a Happy New Year, and good luck for the 2012 season!

I am a mentor and alumni of Team Stealth (#1802) based in Kansas City, KS out of Piper High School. Normally we have right about 20 students but we (happily) expanded to 40 students for this season. Currently 12 of these are female which is 3 times more than we normally have. Our rookie year was in 2006 to help out a student who could not take AP Physics(not enough people interested in the class).

We've had our fair share of issues as a team but come out better and better every year. We have had 4 coaches, mentor changes (due to personal issues with other mentors) and 5 home changes in our almost 6 years. As a mentor, I am feeling very confident in our team this year and we hope to be able to take then entire team to STL this year. Last year we just took a student because we were in the running for the website award.

I am a part of Team Driven 1730. We are based out of Lee's Summit, MO. This year we are attending the KC Regional and the Queen City Regional. We also attended IRI and co-host the CowTown ThrowDown in the off season.

Here is a very large picture of our team in 2011.

We are team 1208, the Metool Brigade. As we start our tenth year in FRC we have 120 student members and 5 mentors. We operate out of O'Fallon, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis, Mo. (Home of the World Series Champion Cardinals). This year we will be competing at the Greater Kansas City Regional and the St. Louis Regional, as well as the Championships, in St. Louis.
We have won 13 different awards throughout the years, but never a Chairman's Award, so look out St. Louis, we are still reaching for the brass ring!

We are team 88 (TJ^2), We have been in FIRST since 1996. We are based out of Bridgewater-Raynham regional Highschool in Massachusetts. Currently we have around 60 students on our team and travel with the top 40 students ranked on the team. Ranking is decided from fundraising and hours spent working on team related things. Each year our team travels to the boston competition and one other, this year we chose the Chesapeake regional.

We're team 639, (the first) Code Red Robotics from Ithaca NY. We've been around since 2001, and have won regionals in 2004 and 2005. Since then, we have reliably gotten into the semifinals at atleast one regional, and our showing has been improving as well. Our team has grown astronomically in the last two years--from 35 to 60. Though this presents many hurdles, our team has kept our base philosophy that the robot should be led, designed, built, and tested by students with the mentors acting as a very valuable safety net. To this, major decisions remain a popular democratic vote, and the club is run fully by student officers. We're pretty well known for being 'those guys with the tank', which is an image we are trying to change. In the past years, we've used tank tread and way too much T-slot to make a robot that is unbreakable, but quite slow and heavy.

Here's one of the more recent pictures of our team at FLR 2010. We're returning there this year, as we always do, and taking a trip to Washington DC for our second regional!

I am on team 2733 The Pigmice. We are known locally for our sometimes crazy ideas. Our team started competing in lego league (and won the world championship). Now as an FRC team, we have expanded and look to broaden peoples views of STEM fields.
http://www.pigmice.com/#! (don't judge, new website going up on kickoff).

This year we will compete at our local Portland regional and at the Spokane regional. We look forward to a good year.

I will update this post with a picture of the team. Or you can look at my avatar pic (this is one of those crazy ideas that I mentioned).

We're team 1071, MAX, located out of Wolcott, Connecticut, and 2012 is the milestone of our 10th season. We serve the students of Wolcott High School, as well as a few Wolcott Students who attend other area schools.

Our team on average has about 30 students a year, and 7-10 fantastic mentors. We are a frequenter of the Connecticut Regional in Hartford, as well as throughout the Northeast Invitational circuit.

One thing to mention about our teams that's special is that we host the Where is Wolcott? Invitational. This yearly off-season event held in June takes a laid-back approach to FRC, with the day mainly about just getting a great chance to use your robots in actual matches, and to party with your FIRST friends.

My favorite team picture:
