Every team has it’s start and ours began a few years back not with our own team or even an FTC team for that matter but an FRC by the name of Robohornets. This team was founded at the Tulsa public high school, Booker T Washington High School, the school initially had two teams, an FTC team as well as an FRC team; however, when the TPS had to institute budget cuts, the FTC team was cut. This did not sit well with Steam Post 26 founders, David Fornet and Kyler Smith. They would band together to work hard in order to form their own new team. This idea was ambitious and would be difficult to achieve. Hardships however were nothing that would slow them down however and their dream would come into reality by working with the Boy Scouts of America. From this partnership would come the birth of the STEM POST 26 organization, an explorer post and interactive worksite-based career education program, opening membership in Aug 2015 to anyone interested in joining, male or female, ages 10-21. And these new members held the honor to form the 10355 team Eagle Factory (later renamed, Project Peacock). This team was composed of all members of the POST and would in its first year manage to achieve some rather mild success.
While this first year may not have been anything of major note, it was however the spark needed to get the organization some attention drawn to it, which would allow the Post to grow, but with growth came the expansion past the number of people which we were allowed to hold on one team. This problem would lead to the creation of a new second team and the renaming of the first. The first team would become team 10355 project peacock and the second team would come to be called Team 11572 Mouse Spit. That however is just an origin and we have come a long way since the debut. Except the journey wasn’t as simple or as fast…
