The New Cool: A Visionary Teacher, His FIRST Robotics Team, and the Ultimate Battle of Smarts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've participated in FIRST Robotics. I've been a part of the program for 7 years, 4 as a student and the past 3 as a mentor. During all of my time in the program, I've never been able to find something that has been able to capture the essence of FIRST. Something that is able to express the long nights, grueling machining, and endless problem solving. I have never found this atmosphere anywhere else in my life except in FIRST. The New Cool is able to capture the mood of a competition, the hurried scramble at the end of a build, and the pressure that each driver is fighting while piloting their robot around the playing field.
The New Cool details Amir and his rookie team in the FIRST Robotics competition Lunacy. Lunacy presented the team with several difficult obstacles which they needed to engineer reliable and efficient solutions to overcome. The change in the field base and the obscurely shaped game pieces were just two of the obstacles that teams were faced with.
Having competed in Lunacy, I can attest that it was one of the more difficult games FIRST has presented to teams. It changed many commonly known variables in the game and made designing an effective robot incredibly difficult. It was exciting to see the solutions that Amir and his team were able to both think of and implement, as they demonstrated both the creativity and drive of the team.
This novel, even for nontechnical people, presents an inspiring account of a remarkable group of students and their mentor. It's a great read that gives me reassurance that our future engineers and scientist will be able to take care of us.
