Congratulations to Aidan F. Browne for being honored as our fifth Unsung FIRST Hero. This honor is well deserved.

Congrats on being the fifth UFH! That story about the 3 student team with no crate at nationals was really something. It goes to show you that there are those seriously in need, and those even more seriously ready to help. That story would have been good for FIRST Historians but it made it here which is just as good if not better. Anyway, sounds to me like you deserved it. Way to go!

Aidan has been someone that has completely inspired me to continue to be involved in FIRST... I can't even remember when i met him, i think it was at the UTC team party in '00, there was a whole bunch of buzz kids hanging around and not really dancing much. Then i look over and see Aidan getting his groove on right in the middle of their little circle.... He always cared about the morale of his team.

He always seems to love what he is doing, which is a truly amazing characteristic to have. Multiple times at competitions i have summoned his help, since he is basically your one-stop fix for robot repairs/coding changes.

Aidan, you truly deserve this, i can't think of a better person to have their name on the Unsung FIRST Heroes list.

Aidan,

Congrats on being recognized as one of FIRST's Unsung Heroes. You have always been professional and dedicated to the advancement of FIRST, willing to jump in and help whereever needed.

Congrats Aidan! I've been with Aidan for 5 out of the 7 years I've been with Buzz, and he's made a big impact on our team. I don't know many engineers that will stay up all night with a bunch of crazy high school kids. All the trips we've made to regionals, Aidan has been there, bringing us the morning after prom to PA Robot Challenge, wherever and whenever there is a problem Aidan puts his heart into fixing it. I could write a lot, but I'm not a big fan of long posts, to sum it up, Aidan truely deserves to be acknowledged for what he does in the FIRST community and within his own team. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to a fun senior year.

Aidan,

Congrats on a job well done! You continue to inspire many students with your knowledge of engineering practices and your passion for the FIRST competition. With that, you deserve to be one of FIRST's Unsung Heros!

Aidan,

Congratulations.
Even in the short time I've known you, you've had a positive impact on my life. (and we've had some fun too :D ).
You've inspired me to be a better coach, and a better mentor. I know you've also had an impact on other members of 229. We are all lucky to have known you. You're welcome to come "be a college kid" with us anytime, anywhere you want. ;)

Enjoy the honor, you certainly deserve it.

Congrats Aidan!

Ever since I met you on my rookie year of Buzz, you were nothing but one of the most hardworking and dedicated mentors on the team. But as we all know... you do get your time to lounge around:

Aidan,
When one of our bots pots broke this past year at the utc regional, i knew if any team there would have a replacement, Buzz would. I ran over and asked, and you were the one who was willing to help me out and get me an extra to fix out bot with. You have inspired many and will continue to inspire all that you work with. Thanks for the help when we really needed it and congrads, you deserve this!
