Bob,
congratulations once again for building a successful robot and for running a great all-around program.
I like this video as one of the better ones as it truly depicts the teamwork involved in all areas of your program.
Acknowledging even the volunteers who help feed the kids was great.
Whether they build the robot or provide meals, every volunteer is equally important to the foundation of any team…
Thanks for sharing.
Skunkworks Robotics is a family…the video shows a little part of it.
It was a tough year…
We lost a week to ice snow and no power at the school…
Had several team members and mentors out sick…
but we have made it this far…
Like all the teams out there… we are already winners…
We have grown together again as a team and continue to strive to uphold and teach the values of FIRST. The competitions are just the frosting on our cake.
Darren, We look forward to being on the floor again with you guys. Your robot looks terrific!! Maybe this year we can finally pull a repeat of the regional win from back in 2008 in Seattle (Tacoma). I think we could team up for a triple balance in Portland… we are very short on the bridge… 22" or so…
We have the capability if we can get help… we can extend over the end of the bridge by 10" because of our drive base. Our robot is only 32 " long to begin with so we are pretty short if we can be an end robot…
We look forward to playing with you guys!! You always have a great robot.
See you in about a day or so!!
