That ONE Team is now in our 4th year of FRC. We started as LEGO® in Paradise in 2006 as a FIRST® LEGO® League team, and were successful right from the beginning - we won tournaments and had an impact in our community by starting other FLL teams. Those teams led to the creation of Paradise Teams, the organization that sponsors That ONE Team. We retired from FLL in 2013 after attending the World Festival with two different teams in the two preceding years. However in 2013 while attending the FIRST® Championship as spectators, we decided that we needed to start an FRC team. Since we had some experienced FIRST® members and there were no other FRC teams in our area, it was a good fit. And thus, Team 4967 was born.
As That ONE Team came together and began making plans to form an FRC team, we brainstormed about what made our team unique, and also what made our community unique and what we could do to help protect and enhance it. We realized that one of the distinctive aspects of our community is that it is surrounded by water - rivers, inland lakes, and the Great Lakes. These waterways are crucial to the history, economy and environment of our region, and impact our lives every single day. That ONE Team decided that we would focus our service on water-related issues in our community. In September 2014, we participated in the 10th Annual Mayor’s Grand River Cleanup, where we spent a Saturday cleaning along the banks of the Grand River in downtown Grand Rapids. In October, we participated with Trout Unlimited and the Rogue River Home Rivers Initiative to do stream insect monitoring on the Rogue and several of her tributaries. In November, we have invited Nichol DeMol from Trout Unlimited to visit a team meeting and teach us more about what some of the specific water related issues in our area are, and how That ONE Team can reach out to help.
