2001-2002

The 2001-2002 school year was successful for the Greenville High School robotics team, not only in competition but also with the student body becoming involved in the various activities of the team.  The Robowranglers placed third in the BEST competition in the fall.  Sponsored by L-3 Communications Integrated Systems and competing against 45 other teams at the FIRST Lone Star Regional, "Zone Zeal," the team was named the 2002 Chairman's Award Winner.  This gave them one of the 17 spots available at national competition to be able to compete for the national title.  The Greenville High School student body was also commended by FIRST judges for their support of the team through the fundraiser, "Pennies for the Bot."  Students and team members raised 100,000 pennies through the local team fundraiser.

The team of 2001-2002 was coached by Greenville High School instructors Vanessa Pope and Terri Galloway.  Students on the team included David Chesney, Casey Collier, Graham Hall, Megan Hunter, Ryan Jenkins, Ryan Marcum, Ian Massey, Jason Maxwell, Andy McClellen, Beth McClellen, Kyle Mitchell, Taylor Morrison, Mark Moseley, Joel Powell, Rayna Sherman, Lydia Shook, Matt Sikes, Juli Stibbe, Cameron Thatcher, and Brandon Torrance.  Volunteering for the team as engineers were Hector Arce, James Collier, Adam Davies, John Hodapp, Steve Lindo, Brad Marcum, Steve Maxwell, Jason Ramm, Will Reese, Ricky Torrance, Casey Welch, Monty Wineinger, Allen Yau, and Frankie Yau.
