Rambots, your chat server is an awesome idea. It’s a great opportunity to meet new people from different FIRST teams from accross the nation that we dont have the time to meet during the comps. It’s a great idea and I had a great time using it last night, all we need now is more people to join the chats at night. SO ANYONE READING THIS, TRY IT OUT NEXT TIME THERE’S A CHAT SESSION SCHEDULED. IT’S PHATICAL. There’s a lot of interesting stories and people out there in the FIRST community, and this is a great way to find out about them.
Also, Joe, Mike, and the rest of the DELPHI team, this forum is also an awesome deal. It’s been a great opportunity to learn more about other teams without havng to be online at all times to follow a chat. And the picture section is great also…
Keep up the great work both RAMBOTS and DELPHI

I wanted to add on to Keith’s comments (although he said just about what I’m going to…) Since starting to post on the Chief Delphi forums, I have met quite a few friends that it would have been hard to meet at competition due to a crowd of 10,000. I have also gained invaluable insights into other teams and been given great assistance in the problems that crop up during the 6 weeks and beyond. Thanks to Team 47 for giving us a place to go!
On the same note, I had the privilage of working with Team 419 the RAMBOTS from BC High/UMass Boston in the last week of the design period. They are an awesome team, and I highly advise you all to stop by their pits and say hi. The chat that their team leader, Anton, has put up has been a great success, and I love getting to talk to other FIRST nuts in real time! (two days ago the chatting went from 9PM to 3AM eastern time!) I’m proud to consider myself a ‘regular’ of both these great resources, and I hope to see them both grow and many new faces come join in the fun!

Anton,
Your overwhelming (yet enjoyable) enthusiasm and your willing to offer us with such outlets for our hobby and creativity is a very selfless act. Putting up that chat server for us shows to me what a giving person you are. I give credit to you and Brandon for providing us with fun, innovative things to do involved with FIRST. After all, everyone just wants to have fun. I know I have alot of fun when I am talking about FIRST, and i know no one else will deny that they do too.
Kudos, you silly geniuses.
Erin
