Sweet! I want one of your shirts!

They're not shirts, they're the easy to recognize BOB shop rags.

I will be looking forward to getting my rag again this year. Just found last years a few days ago.

There's just one thing missing :(

One BOB shop rag will be attached to our team's robot throughout this season, in memory of Steve Yasick.

Here (http://www.legacy.com/grandrapids/LegacySubPage2.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=16815027) is a link for funeral and viewing arrangements.

Notice this portion of the obituary: "In lieu of flowers, those who wish may make memorial contributions to Eugene Yasick Jr. Education Fund (for his children's college tuition)."


My family's prayers are for the Yasicks.

After our shop rags were mentioned in the local paper this week, I received several questions about the significance of the shop rag. I did a search here and realized that we had never posted the reasons for these giveaways which appear to be unique among FIRST teams.

We give out shop rags, which have become a symbol of our team, for three primary reasons:


They are a symbol of always being ready to help.
We are proud to represent Michigan and its blue collar history.
With a team guideline of an “80% plus student-built-robot”, we hope all teams get a chance to get their hands dirty!

We'll be at Boilermaker, West Michigan, and Atlanta this year. Please stop by and get your 2006 shop rag!
