National Instruments Posted these videos on their NI Global Channel:

Overview
FRC 3320, M&Ms Team Captain: Juan Martinez
FRC 3320, M&Ms: Mechanical Team Lead: Marcos Montoya
Animation Student: Andrea Nerio

Thank you National Instruments for working with us on this project and helping spread our mission!!!

Go M&M’s! Eastside Memorial Green-Tech (formerly known as Johnston High School) is the epitome of the Cinderella Story. Joe Daily, Sarah Le, and all of the mentors on the Miracles and Machines team really molded the raw talent of that team and made it into a true role model for FIRST teams worldwide. The team members have a LOT to be proud of, and they will probably set the pace for competition in the Central Texas region for the next several years.

I would be very surprised if Miracles and Machines did not win an RCA in the near future!

awwww, I’m touched, Thanks Danny! And M&M’s love LASA! (Next time the two teams see each other, we know where to pick up purple M&Ms). :wink: :cool:

I wish we could have competed against LASA Robotics. I hope we still get some good news going, instead of our school being in bad recognition.

this team is awwesoooooooooome i really gata say this is the best day of my life !!! this is really going to change my life !!!=D

Edith,

One of the things that we talk a lot about on teams and here in ChiefDelphi is culture change. Changing the culture and how difficult it is. Mindsets, mentalities, narrow-minded thinking and opinions, ignorance, assumptions, bias. That’s all a part of what you have been facing and are up against and your team/your school is making inroads into changing that culture. What that means to you is something that maybe you guys can think about and I’ll come visit with you and find out what your thoughts are.

You will have to work hard to keep making a difference and get people behind you but you guys are making a difference. That is no small thing. We don’t know what that means for your school but we know that you are having a positive effect and receiving positive recognition. To care about your school and your team like you do and to share that with all of us, is very inspiring.

Hope to see you soon,
Jane

P.S. oh - when you compete against or with us, we’ll celebrate that! With M & Ms. :slight_smile:

Thanks Jane! This is what GP is all about!
