2007
Enigma Team 2075 started with the help of GE. We experienced a successful rookie year, culminating in receiving the Rookie Inspiration Award.
2008
A rocky year for the team provided abundant learning experiences. Between mechanical issues and software issues, the team never could get the robot to work, proving to be a valuable learning experience in how difficult integration can be.
2009
Team 2075 won the Safety Award at the West Michigan District Competition and then went on to compete at the National Competition in Atlanta, Georgia. Viewed as a defensive force, we observed that most alliances seemed to value offensive capability, thus providing another learning experience.
2010
The team designed an offense-oriented robot with a powerful kicking mechanism. We competed at the Kettering Competition and at the West Michigan District Competition, winning the Quality Award. We were able to participate at the State competition and made good showing, finishing respectably in the middle of the pack.
2011
One again, Enigma was on a quest to make it back to Nationals! Taking on the responsibility of a mature team, we spent the season mentoring two other Grand Rapids-area GE-sponsored teams, FIRST Team 3875 (East Kentwood High School) and FIRST Team 858 (Wyoming Public Schools). We celebrated the end of the build season with a party at Code Red’s facility (FIRST Team 2771).
