Gabe S. - Green Machine Programmer - 7th Grade
If there's one thing the Green Machine team gets right, it's learning from our mistakes to perfect our technique, both in the little things like missions and programs, to big things like teamwork. When a person makes a mistake on a mission, the whole group is immediately there to offer support and creative ideas. While in the beginning, we were a disjointed cluster of small coteries thrown into the same room, I feel we have really gotten to a point where we can call ourselves a team. We realized arguing and petty rivalries aren't going to help us win; it'll just end up with Mr. Smith in a mental hospital.
It also struck us that laughing at another group's mistake is not getting us any medals, because in the end, you'll be working with those people to create a winning program, and those mistakes will come up. But our greatest accomplishment is the way we nearly perfected the art of working together, an aspect I feel was very much absent in at the start of our season. of course, pressure that comes with competition days away has helped this, but you can really see the Green Machine is a team that helps each other, learns from each other, and supports one another in all manners.
