2005 |  | |
After losing a large crew of seniors, the team regrouped. New leaders emerged, and the team won the Coolest Trick Award in the post-season Bash at the Beach.
In Fall 2005, Spirit really took off with Team Paragon adding hats, boas and bling, as we cheered our way into the hearts of the crowds and judges.
Although the robot did not perform as planned at the New England Regional, Philadelphia was another story. Besides being Semi-Finalists, the team won the Judges' Award and the much coveted Team Spirit Award. This was the beginning of a long string of spirit awards, and the team became well known for our "look" as well as our enthusiasm. We won the Most Spirited Team award at Mayhem on the Merrimac and Best Battlecry Award for spirit at Battlecry, where The Crew also chose us for their Crew's Choice Award.
In the off-season, the team once again worked for Habitat for Humanity, this time priming a home in the north end of Hartford on one of the hottest days of the year. In true Paragon fashion, we autonomously divided up into groups, split up the paint and supplies, spread ourselves around the house, and accomplished much more than expected, having a blast at the same time.
