Our team did great throughout
the three days of
competition. We played a total
of 22 matches, with only minor
modifications and repairs
required between
competitions.
Our drive team, scouting crew,
pit crew and mentors are to be
congratulated. Everyone did a
wonderful job,
completing their
responsibilities while
operating under a great deal
of pressure. The atmosphere
was filled with energy and
our team "ate it up".
Following the scheduled
matches, our team was selected
for one of the eight play-off
alliances. Each alliance (one
red & one blue) is comprised
of three teams, working
together to score points
against the other alliance
teams. We succeeded in the
quarter finals, won the semi
finals and moved on to the
final matches. Our alliance
won the first of the final
matches, but came up short on
the second, which required the
third match to be played. We
lost the
final match, finishing in
second place with the silver
medals and the "finalist"
trophy.
I am very proud of the
students on our team. They
performed with "gracious
professionalism" throughout
the competition, representing
their team, FIRST and the
State of Vermont in a
positive, professional manner
throughout the competition.
I wish to extend a special
thank you, on behalf of our
team to all of our team
volunteers and team sponsors.
Your assistance and support is
critical to the success of our
team and we greatly appreciate
all that you do to allow our
students that opportunity to
experience FIRST, free of
charge.
We will be working throughout
the the year to improve and
to prepare for 2010 season. We
are hopeful and we would love
a repeat performance from The
Green Team #885 in the years
to come.
Sincerely,
John P. Connor
Vice President

The Green Team 885 robot in
action.
Our robot is # 885 and we
are dumping balls into the
opponents trailer. If you
look closely, you can see
the ball lifter in the
center of the robot. The
lifter picks up balls off of
the floor and places them
into the hopper at the top
of the robot. Once the team
get close to their
opponents, the drive team
opens the door and drops the
balls.
We had a great build season,
which was followed by an
exciting regional
competition in Manchester,
NH.
Thank you to everyone who
assisted our team in 2008 /
2009. |
