Myself and many others have known and worked closely with this team since last summer after the Championship event. We were surprised by their work ethic when they were down, and excellence when they were out on the field.
After Atlanta we saw a few faults in their team and wanted to extend a hand of knowledge to enhance their progress. Just in the past few months, 1323 has grown from a small town unknown to a team that is contributing to the FIRST community everyday through the EWCP, creating new components for AndyMark, and being one of the most helpful teams in the West Coast. 1323 machined out several parts for teams across the nation including us, and we are humbled to be a part of their Chairman’s victory. Hold your heads up high despite what you see on your record…matches don’t matter, its what you get out of them that counts.
Keep at it guys, we are so proud of you, and honored that we could share our knowledge with such a charitable and genuinely helpful team. I sincerely hope that 1323, 1771, 816, and 11 can grace each others’ presence in the same division in Atlanta. Thank you and congratulations on your first ever banner on your first ever try. RC, you did one hell of a job!

P.S- Remote mentoring is fun and hard, I suggest ever team out there gives it a try. The mutual gains are so worth the effort.
