Team 1987: The First Four Years
After having been involved for the first four years, we, Emma, Tom, and Becky, thought it important to document the things Team 1987 faced, overcame, and accomplished. Because we were at every meeting, volunteer event, presentation, build day, or competition event, we believe that our memories, combined with all the wonderful photographs taken by Lisa Smith (and others) should be shared. We chose to do so by writing this book.
It has 118 pages with around 520 photographs and it highlights each build season and the subsequent competition events. Also included are all the submitted documents that took us to the Championship in Atlanta three years in a row.
This book tells the story of what it takes to be a humble and very successful FIRST® team.
We did a bulk order through emails already. If you responded/paid, we have accounted for your order. So far, we ordered 24 books which should be here in a few weeks. If you didn’t respond to us and would like to buy one, you can buy one online. Here is the Blurb bookstore preview and order website: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/invited/1030061/3d956800543b3f2a9fb4bf27e5daf8a8
We are very excited to finally publish this book. We have been working on it for many weeks. Going through pictures to choose the perfect shots as well as following our progress in words took hundreds of hours, and we feel it is a great representation of Team 1987’s first four years. If there are any questions about the book, please email: thand@kc.rr.com.
We hope you enjoy it. To see the first 15 pages of the book, go to the link above.
This is my last work as a Broncobot. It has been an honor since the start!!

Bummer to see you go - I’ve enjoyed the regular updates and have been keeping track, until recently, of all the progress the team has been making. I hope the next set of students can run as well with the torch you are handing on! Good luck with your studies! If you need help with physics, you know where to go.
