My team’s greatest success was when we had a drive-train pulley snap right before a match. There was a perfect storm of removing the outside flange of the robot and replacing the broken part. All of this was done before the next match. What made this extra special was that most of the students involved in this process were not seniors and will be coming back next year. It was at that moment when I realized they were going to do just fine next year! That’s what the sport is about, passing the baton to the next in line. 1319 had a large amount of students in the 2018 class so the greatest success was passing on our knowledge.
Also it was nice to win the safety award one last time.
