Team in a Box // Testimonials
Hi, Team 341:
Our replacement disk arrived safe and sound and works great. You and your team have provided a wealth of information to those new to, or just getting started in FIRST, like us! I really love the way this tool goes beyond just explaining the basic details, and really conveys the heart of FIRST (i.e. through some Really Nice interviews.) I also find the time-lapse video very cool and illustrative. It will take me several more viewings and some thought to find areas to improve, but I will try. As our team comes together, I will try to keep asking, "how does this Team-In-A-Box address this problem or question we have", and try to note these thoughts for you.
Great job! I can only try to appreciate all the work it took to provide us with the amazing resource.
Thanks!

Hello Al Ostrow and Team 341 Miss Daisy,
I received team in a box today. Wow!! What an asset. I have only watched a few of the chapters, and I am impressed with the results. This will help launch my FIRST Team on the road to Atlanta in their Rookie Year!!! I remember your team from the Nationals (We were a VEX Team #21) I liked your controller Flower Box. I look forward to working with the FIRST Organization and supporting team members such as yourself. Thank you for the resource. Our mentor team is #25 RaiderRobotix from N. Brunswick HS NJ. I will share with them your Team in a Box. They are working to get a national help group called the RINOS. Rookies In Need Of Support.
Thank you again

I am a former mentor of FRC Team 173, RAGE. I co-founded NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) last spring. I recently retired from RAGE and hope to work on statewide projects with FIRST teams. I'd love a copy of your TIAB to see how it could help us with rookie CT teams! Thank you, Miss Daisy!

Hello 341!
I was so glad to hear that you've done this! Right now I'm the (only) mentor for team 751 and, sadly, I won't be actively involved next year since I'm going to graduate school. We've found enough adult lab-supervision for the build-season next year, but no top-down leadership or technical guidance. Fortunately, we have a number of talented students who I hope can run a tight ship. I'm making a detailed, step-by-step "how-to" both for the students and adult supervisors, and your DVD sounds like a perfect addition.
So thanks again!
Best--

Thank you so much for the wonderful team in a box! I will be sharing it with all the potential teams I can and for sure the 50+ students in our Intermediate School teams! Thank you again and wishing you folks the best in robotics!

Thank you very much for the DVD and the CD. They are very well put together. The season (at least for the first part) is almost over. Expect to hear from me in the near future. Our team has seen some success being a rookie team. We are now doing the final touches and getting ready to ship. I wish you much success in competition.
Go team 341!
