Congratulations to Bob Mimlitch and Tony Norman, our next Unsung FIRST Heroes.

[Billfred]

Congrats, y'all! Keep up the good work!*

* unless that involves waterproof Victors :ahh:

Congratulations Bob and Tony, two heroes of FIRST! I'm very glad to know you.

This award is a great, positive way to start the year and a new season. Happy New Year!

[Mike Martus]

Congratulations to both of you. Well deserved for sure.

I have worked with both of you on several occasions and I must say I have never learned more is such a short span of time. You take the time to explain what is going on and are true teachers of technology.

You are both always willing to go above and beyond the call to get a team up and running searching out that one little error in the application of the control system.

Thank you for all the assistance you have given Chief Delphi #47.

See you at the events.

Congratulations Bob and Tony! I have had the honor to talk to both of you on a number of occasions and I am looking forward to the experience many more times in my FIRST career. You guys really do deserve this, so once again... Congratulations

Congrats Bob & Tony.

Congrats Bob and Tony. Few people in this organization know how much we owe to you and IFI (you have to have been around a really long time). Thanks for being a part of this group and making the great products you turn out. Congratulations!

[phrontist]

Your stuff is really top notch. After taking the time to understand any one of your products, I never find myself asking "Why did these @!#!!$ idiots do it this way?". Every IFI product I've come accross is well thought out, well documented, and simply works as it should even when a rabid pack of 8th graders has tried in earnest to destroy it.

[Rich Kressly]

Congrats Tony and Bob! After having gotten a chance to know you a little, I figure the best way I can honor all you have done is to simply say that this recognition surely doesn't s#@k! :D ... Keep on rockin' and thanks so much for looking past those financial advisors!!!

(trust me everybody, Tony and Bob will both smile when they read this - there's no need to be horrified)

[Karthik]

Congratulations.

The work the two of you have done at IFI for FIRST, has really changed the course of the program. The IFI control system (first used in 2000, IIRC) was a huge leap ahead from the previous system. This technological advancement allowed FIRST to move into the future. Without your fantastic products so much of the inspiration that takes place would not be possible. Thank you for that.

[DCA Fan]

Congrats, and thanks for all the stuff that you have done for FIRST. Truly a labor of love, and we appreciate it highly.

[Andy Baker]

This is well deserved recognition for Tony and Bob. These guys have done countless things for FIRST and they have made a huge impact on the entire community. They still give much effort each year to make sure FIRST and teams have successful FIRST seasons.

Personally, I thank these guys for being friends over the years and for giving me opportunities and great memories.

While IFI has won the Founders Award, Tony Norman and Bob Mimlitch need to be looked up to by everyone in FIRST. This UFH recognition will hopefully let more know what these guys have done for the overall FIRST effort.

Sincerely,
Andy Baker

Congratulations guys,
I always appreciated the way you come to every regional. That level of support is really phenomenal. Not to mention your products are so well designed that they require little support in the first place. You should be quite proud of yourselves with your accomplishments. You have brought the price of a robotic control system down to the consumer level. At the same time you allow the user unprecedented access to the features of the PIC microcode while at the same time making it easy enough for children to use. Awesome :)

[John Neun]

Congratulations to two fabulous guys once again. As a point of clarification for anyone who has yet to meet Tony and Bob, they are the ones on the ends in the picture. :)

And Tony is on the left.
This picture cracks me up.

[David Kelso]

A great honor for two of the most veteran FIRST guys in the country. Now there is one more thing to add to Friday's kickoff workshop introduction.

[Pat Chen]

Gentlemen:

Congratulations! Well deserved even though belated.

[Erin Rapacki]

Congrats Tony & Bob, you guys rock!

[Chris Fultz]
