I'm another title
Our friends from Duct-Ties and Zip-Tape are a community team from the Acworth, Georgia Area. They've hosted end-of-year and pre-season parties for local teams that are a BLAST! We look forward to seeing them every time we see them listed as competing - they're great people!
Dodgen Robotics is a FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) Team comprised of students from Dodgen Middle School in Marietta, GA. They have run scrimmages for the past two years that have helped other Georgia FTC teams get ready for qualifier matches.
Many former Rockin' Robots have graduated from Faith Lutheran and gone into the STEM Magnet Program at Wheeler High School which plays home to the Circuit Runners FTC Team. Last season two of the Circuit Runners have lent a hand when we were running up against time limits because we were an alternate to go to SuperRegionals. We really appreciate our old teammates coming back to lend a hand!
The Darlington School in Rome, Georgia hosts two FTC teams - each are called DarBots. DarBots 2 (5100) were one of our Alliance Partners in the 2013-14 season when we were Captain of the Finalist Alliance. This season we reviewed the qualifier performance and decided that we needed to design a new part to guide balls into the tube with a straight down drop if possible. We started with a DarBots design for guiding balls from the competition and adjusted it so that the circle on the end is open thereby minimizing any chance of accidentally touching the tubes.

We have been very fortunate that other teams in Georgia have shown Gracious Professionalism to us on many occassions. From simple things like sharing a part to more elaborate assistance like spending a day with our team helping us improve our notebook. Here are several of those teams with links to their websites.
Dodgen Robotics

Eagle Robotics
7373
Eagle Robotic stepped up this year at the last minute and hosted the Georgia State Championship at their school - talk about Gracious Professionalistm! Their website says this about them: "One of the reasons we like the FIRST organization so much is that it embraces our ideal of service to others. We consider the chance to serve others both a privilege and a command to be followed. We teach our team members that we do what we do in this area, not to be noticed, or to win a prize, but because our Lord calls us to a life of humility and service." As a fellow Christian school team we really appreciate their walking the walk.
Ctrl Alt Delete

Team Ctrl-Alt-Del is a community-based FIRST® Tech Challenge youth robotics team based in Johns Creek, Georgia. Team members live in Johns Creek, Duluth, and Dunwoody, Georgia. Ctrl-Alt-Delete earned a spot at the South Super-Regional Championships this season by winning the Motivate Award at the state championship. Unfortunately they were unable to attend. This opened a slot for our team to go as an alternate. We're sorry Ctrl-Alt-Delete couldn't go to Super-Regionals but appreciate the opportunity to go in their place. Thanks.
