The Chairmans and Dean’s List awards are complete and have been submitted, which is one less thing to worry about in the last week of the build season. The Chairmans award is the most prestigious award a team can win and with that in mind, the focus of our Chairmans essay is the importance of sustainability. In our essay we talk about how we want to make sure that our team is able to“stay afloat” next year after all of the seniors graduate and what we have done to ensure this.This year we have been trying to make sure that the younger members of our team are given just as much work to do as the older members and that they feel like they are able to contribute new ideas.

In this past week we also worked hard on the Deans List, nominating Amy Wiegand as our teams semi-finalist and a great example of someone who represents the ideas of FIRST. She has been involved in robotics for a long time and loves it. Amy goes above and beyond the expectations of what a team member is required to do. She has organized our all of our volunteer opportunities, and rather than doing everything herself, she teaches younger members how to design and build the robot. You can read more about Amy and her amazing contribution to our team here.
