As a group we all really enjoyed the process of WoW. We put together a solid team and we just were unfortunate on race day. We came together a lot as a team through all of the hours we spent with each other. Over the month of working together, our group participated in many heated (but all fun spirited) arguments with opposing teams. The competition was excellent, and we can certainly say that it has been an honor to compete against many of these teams. At all of our gatherings, everyone had fun and worked hard. No one was standing around doing nothing at any of our meetings. Drills were always twisting, glue being dispensed, and faces glistening with sweat. We all put in a lot of effort, and for that reason we were brought together as more of a solid team. There was no resentment towards any group members, as we were all there as much as we could be. Random events and obstacles did stumble upon us, but we were fine with one less person at each meeting and for that reason we bonded as a team instead of getting mad and splitting the group apart. Jokes were exchanged, and some people made fun of more than others (poor Backdoor Hays), but we always had high spirits and smiles on our faces. Building the shoes was not only a great learning experience, but a great way to bond. We ate meals together, we bottle flipped together, we attacked each other, and we walked on water together. We still need to celebrate the process as a team, but maybe we'll wait until summer. We are planning on playing airsoft, because what better way to celebrate than to shoot the living hell out of your friends! Obviously we all are disappointed in our results because we know we were faster than many of the other teams and could've done so much better than we did. Had we spent an hour putting a fin on the shoes to help them go straighter, maybe we could have won. Our turning issue was what did us in, but the results were not that big of a deal. We knew that we had potential and that our shoes were the fastest they could be, and that was all that really mattered. The process of building and the experience was what it was about, winning would have just been a bonus. Swamp Asymptotes reign supreme!
