I has just wondering who you think you’re team MVP’s are.
I personally think that our team MVP is Mike.
Mike, who is our teams driver and so much more, can tell you just about everything about driving. Although we didn’t win every match he did an excellent job. He was a junior, with very little driving experience, but figured it out so easy. One thing that he never did, he never thought he did it perfect. After every match he criticized his own drivings. He was always first to point out his mistakes. He never got cocky and never got big headed. He did a wonderful job keeping his cool even in tense situations. He did a wonderful job, and our team owes him a debt of gratitude. Now that he got his feet wet, he can have a lot of fun driving next year.
I am not gonna give our team an “MVP”, instead, i am gonna give you 3 people that have made FIRST in NJ Not only possible, but better They are Wayne Cokeley, Paul Kloberg, and Bill McGowan(i hope i spelled his name right) between the 3 of them, they helped start the push to get the Mid-Atlantic Regional a better home, and they have accomplished that, Bill McGowan, also brought the lego leauge into NJ, bring a site for a competiton and many new teams, these 3 men were also the recipients of the Volunteer of the Year award at the J&J Mid Atlantic Regiona, These men, are not do not focus on just building robots, but also about spreading the word of FIRST anyway possible
I think our team’s MVP is an alumni that has been in FIRST since high school and is now in his early twenties. His name is Dave F. Or better known as emperor Dave on the team. He always is confident, always there to help with whatever is going on, and sometimes a little too passionate about the situation, but he gets over it. Without Dave the robot would not be complete, the drive team would not have a clue, and half the members would still be hung up about past conflicts. It seems like he’s at the warehouse 24/7, and is always finding something new for us to do. He also knows how to have fun, which is essential. Sooooooooo I suppose if I had to pick only one team member, because they are all so great, except for Rick, he smells, jk, it would be Dave
Hands down … Brandon. He was the level-headed one when I was going crazy. His knowledge about everything FIRST came in very handy during build and it was such a thrill to have him on trhe drive team. You totally earned it man! I don’t know anyone else who would drive 45mins. to and from Ypsi just to help build a robot. Brandon, you rocked this year. I’m glad you joined us, your friendship has been amazing, and I look forward to working with you on future projects.
Definitely our teacher, Mr. Hildebrandt (aka “H”). We never could’ve built our robot without H. He’s just amazing at coming up with robot designs, and getting everyone to work on them.
I would have to say ALL of our teachers and other mentors. They all do a lot of work for, everything team 93 stands for. I would also like to give a special one to Schuff, lead person, who sets a lot of our stuff up, and always listens to us, and is just overall a great guy and friend.
My team’s MVP is definitely Joe, he control all of us which is hard to do, he was a great driver, Chairmen, and overall person who we will miss since he is graduating and going to school in Cal.
Also, honorable mention to Mrs. Fincher who sacrificed so much time for the team, she got us every sponsor we had, got us mentors from ITT, and bent over backwards for the team.
