Tell us a little about yourself...
 

Well, it's that time again. It's time for everybody to get to know everyone else a little better. What better way than to post a little something about yourself on ChiefDelphi Forums?

I'll start.

I'm Dan Richards, a "constructor" on Team 550 from Warren County in Northwest New Jersey. I'm an ASE-certified Auto Mechanic in a schooling and apprenticeship program, and I work in a hardware store called Home Towne Hardware (...and a whole lot more!). My life goal at this time is to enter the world of automotive engineering.

Now it's your turn!

I am Sean Roberts a "Senior Member" on team 330 in beautiful Hermosa Beach California. I am a senior at Hope Chapel Academy. I am a certified EMT-D (Emergency Medical Tech.) and work as a lifefuard at a local pool. I want to be either a firefighter-paramedic or a LAPD officer for a career. I'm on AIM quite a bit. my sn is SeanR330

I am Stephanie Studebaker, co-captain and strategist for team 668. Yes, there is a relation to the car company...I get that all the time. Mostly from guys and old ladies... I will be a junior at Pioneer High School in San Jose, CA. I spend alot of time on AIM, which tends to annoy my parents, so if you want to chat, I'm Steppie86 :)

I'm Justin Chow, a senior high school student going into my final year at Woburn Collegiate. I really like robotics, but I like graphics design even more :)
I'm also into music, mostly rock - I play drums in a band of bass, drums, guitar (me and 2 friends).

Sidenotes:

-I'm a computer enthusiast
-I'm a gamer
-I play tennis

Thazaboutit!

Come chat in Tigerbolt. I'm usally idleing there.
If not, I am off causeing mischeif with friends or fixing something on my car or playing DDR.

I'm a student on what used to be 258. I am quite a computer enthusiast, and am usually the acting programmer for the team, though I have been known to dabble in various other areas.

I spend a lot of time in Tigerbolt, too, under the name Jim258 (or some odd variation thereof). You can AIM me at FotoPlasma or PotatoPlasma, depending on the computer I'm currently using.

I am Robert Ribaudo, a scouter, member of the computer group, and someone who does small jobs on team 810. This year will be my second year in FIRST in the second year of team 810.
I do not go on Tigerbolt very much, but if I am on it, I will have the screen name name Rob810.
I am also in the Smithtown Key Club (site I made). In this club we help out to raise money for charity and do what we can to help out around our home, school, and community.
I have AIM on all the time with the screen name puzz3dmaster. If I am not there, I will most likly have an away message on. IM me if you want to talk about anything. Please first tell me that your from CD when you first IM me.

Im D.J. Fluck, a senior at Kokomo High School and a 4th year member of my team. Outside of FIRST, I play soccer on the high school team and I play rec-league hockey. I have a job at the wonderful store called Sears. Yes, I sell shoes on commission. It usally sucks, but once in awhile I come out with a paycheck at roughly $10+ p/hr. My life is boring and I can't wait to get out of Kokomo.

My name is Erin Rapacki (not too surprising, huh?). I was on Buzz Robotics the past two years and I had the time of my life. I'm now an incoming freshman at Northeastern University and I intend on being on their team as a mentor. I do not know what my exact role in FIRST Robotics is, as of right now I'm not impressively computer savvy or technical... but I've been told that I have a lot of leadership potential, I know how to get things done, and my crazy enthusiasm for robotics tends to stick onto others. I'm also into biking, hiking, and boating. I'm joining the Crew team at NEU this fall. My major is mechanical engineering so I'm probably joining SWE and ASME as well. I'll be online all the time starting Sept 14th, so talk to me. My screen name is anetta284.

I am Ricky Quinones (actually thats not my real name, but that doesn't matter), I will be a junior at Oconomowoc HS in Oconomowoc, WI and entering my 2nd year on #269, I do alot of eveything on my team, mechanical, electrical, and I was a driver this year. Next year I hope to focus mainly on elec, and hopefully drive or coach.

Outside of FIRST I work at Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital (I'm a doctor :-p) and just do alot of misc things. If you wanna talk just IM me:

I'm Jeff Waegelin (obviously), and I'm a senior at Rochester High School in Rochester, MI and a 3rd year member of the FEDS. I'm the team programmer, and I also play trumpet in the school marching band.

Well
 

My name is Aaron Lussier I'm a senior at Nashua High School and Third year member of The wildcards. I'm am the teams PR guy. and when I'm not doing PR I'm working on the robot in the pit. Becides FIRST, I Rock Climb almost every day and can do like 56 pull ups.:D

I am also a huge movie freak

As you can see, I'm Katie Reynolds. I will be a junior this year at Appleton East High School (one of the three high schools that make up the NEW Apple Corps). I will also be a student in the new Tesla Engineering Charter School at East. This will be my third year on team 93. During the season, I'm on the "controls" sub-system of our team. The sub-system is made up of about 4 people who build the controls, do the electrical stuff, wiring, programming and pneumatics on the robot! In the off-season (if you could call it that) I'm usually busy setting up team activities, presentations and get-togethers... kind of the off-season PR person. I work at a Copps - a grocery store near my house for only $6.25/hour. It's no fun. If you're looking for a job, don't work at a grocery store! ;) I'm working on learning to play guitar - both bass and electric. I played the cello for 7 years. I was in my high school orchestra and for the Fox Valley Youth Symphony (orchestra made up of people from about 12 cities in the area) up through this past year. I had to drop orchestra to make room for my engineering classes and since I dropped orchestra the teacher of that class wouldn't sign for me to be in the symphony. Oh well - more time for FIRST! If you wanna chat...

I am Melissa Wheeler, a junior at Stanton College Preparatory School in Jacksonville, FL. I'm also in my 3rd year on team 86 - Team Resistance. I'm a mechanical person on my team and also one of the biggest spirit people on my team (Ohm my!) Other than that I volunteer at a local museum, and am really too active in my latin club at school. I also take kickboxing and am starting up dance again. I wanna learn how to play the guitar...hopefully soon.

I'm Ian Woloschin (don't ask how to pronounce it, just figure it out yourself :D), and I'm a junior at Smithtown High School. This is going to be my second year on 810, The Mechanical Bulls, (I wish I could say third, but oh well). I was a driver, programmer, and as of the end of last school year, Co-Captain (the other one is Dan). Apart from robotics, I'm on the school debate team (and yes, I helped to start that too), although I'm not very good at debating when there's rules :D. I'm also currently a Life Scout, working on my Eagle Project (I still have a few merit badges though). On my own time I'm somewhat of a computer nerd, although not as much as some people here.

I spend way too much time online, so if you're bored and want to talk to me...

AIM --> Woloi
Tigerbolt --> IanT810 (or something else similar to that)

If you IM me, just say you're from CD, cause some random people IM a lot (my brother and he's friends) and I'm decidely hostile towards them :D.

I'm Bill Gold. Tough one, eh? I guess you could say I'm a college student, but most things I do involve FIRST one way or another. I was 258's team leader for part of the '00 season, and all of '01. I came back as a college mentor / assistant advisor for the '02 season. I'm also casually looking for another team to work with in the (preferably southern) SF Bay Area for '03. I also spend a fair amount of time in Tigerbolt. I guess that's about it.

I'm me. I like piña coladas, and getting caught in the rain.

I'm a pseudo-senior at Stony Brook University, going through an academic crisis of immense proportion, and currently looking to transfer away into another program.

I helped start 263 in my senior year of high school, and mentored them the following year. 271 took me under their wing in 2001, and this year, with a tiny bit of help from my University, I helped to start 810 and do what I could to ensure they had a fun, successful year.

In the FIRST downtime, I travel the country riding as many different roller coasters as possible, and otherwise enjoying what our amusement parks have to offer. I also have an interest in graphic design, illustration, architecture, and some other odd areas of study.

I'm a bad seed. An ugly duckling. A red-headed step child. I don't play well with others, usually, but only by reputation. Usually, others don't play well with me and my unique perspective on life.

My future is up in the air in almost every respect, I think.

Oh, I also like to ramble.

I'm Dan Levin. A senior at Berkley High School in Berkley Michigan, I live in Huntington Woods Michigan. I am ( in my opinion ) one of the most devoted member's on my team, currently in my 3rd year. I enjoy all aspects of our team, building and designing the robot, 3dsMax animation, fundraisers and the such. I had back surgery last year, so I'm not a sports person, but I do enjoy making a fool of myself while trying to play them. I'm frequently on AIM, which my family despises, as we only have one phone line, and a dialup connection, you can reach me at: UncontainedFury

i'm Rob Colatutto, a senior on team 263. this is my second year on the team. i work on the tranny's, claws, pneumatics, and just about everything on the robot besides programming/electronics. most of you know me already on aim, Zerofivenataku, and my team will possibly be hosting a joint competition with team 271 later in 2003, keep your eyes open for info if you wanna attend

We figured we could use the tape to devlop somthing with the sensors for the state fair. ;)

My name is Ben First. I'm a member on team 64, the Gila Monsters. this will be my third year on the team. im usually out building ond/or designing the robot. i also help a little with the strategerizing. at the comps i usually fix the robot (we always brake it) and lead the Gila Dance. when i'm not doing robotics i'm usually bored out of my mind. at svhool bsides the required classes im in french, auto and beg stagecraft. in my spare time i'll usually be on my comp, watching tv, or playing video games:p :D

Clark Gilbert (TM)
 

<-- Points to name..(for those too lazy to move their eyes I'm Clark Gilbert). I'm currently going into my 4th year on the TechnoKats as a Senior at KHS (Kokomo High School). I dont play sports anymore (no time...gotta build robot). Last year i was the "Student Lead Mechanical" on my team...hopefully i'll keep that this year..;) Interesting fact about myself? I have a twin (some people know this) his name is Kyle (i'de show u the link to his profile..but it seems he's not registered..)..Things i like to do? Right now all i seem to be doing is hanging out in the Tigerbolt chat room or messing around with CAD stuff...:)

...Next...

My name is Stephen Rawls, and I'm on 122. I'm a big computer geek (programming more than hardware, but i like both), and i can't escape robotics :) Besides FIRST, I helped build a robot for Robotica on TLC (its name was KaNuckle Buster, it did very well untill another 'bot broke its chain), and I'm going to be on a team that competes in the DARPA robotic challenge (the one where the robot races from las vegas to las angelos), assuming we can get sponsers. Oh, and when I got an internship at NASA, I turned it into a project that helped our FIRST team :D (i built robots that used sensors and feedback control, to show the potential to new members and to show off to the judges)

Stephen

Ok,

My name is Michael Massa. "Ex" - Team Captain of team 522 the RoboWizards currently based in Staten Island, NY. I am about 5'4" brown hair & eyes. I enjoy Biking, long trips to my job via Bus Train and Ferry. I like light rock / rap / country and pop music. Oldies music i also like but only during 6 weeks of torture from the coaches.

Info for the ladies. Any cute 18 yr.olds looking for a b/f. I am a caring lovable person with a good job and in need of comapinionship. lol. Hey you asked for a lil about myself. or is this a bit much.

I like to repair computers, bikes, and anything else that is easily able to be taken apart and put back together in less then 3 hrs.
I also like to mess around w/ Front Page. I succesfully made a complete ameatur website.
unfortunately i graduated HS and my career and title with the robo-wizards is kinda up since my job and its hours keep me from enjoying what i call my hobby - robotics. this will be my 3rd year involved with team 522. hopefully we will not be 2nd. best for the 3rd year at the NYC Regional. we might make 1st. "might" big emphasis.

Back to the respectful ladies. Any ladies who live in NYC that want to go out for a good time IM me. the AOL name is somewhere in my profile.
Inappropriate - yes.
Will it hurt to ask though - no.

Guten Tag! My name is Ashley Weed, and I will be a Senior at Towanda High School in Towanda, PA. I will begin my fourth year with Chuck 84 (WATTNESS). I work in the fabrication/build group, I am THE OPERATOR, and I do basically most of the scouting stuff. Outside of Robotics I play flute in marching and concert band, and play the piano. I am a Senior Girl Scout. I am a dancer and have performed at Lincoln Center in New York City. I am the only female marksman in my school, and the first ever to place in the top three in competition. I also shoot for another team and qualified as a NRA Sharpshooter. I have won more awards as a driver for team 84 then my schools football team has in the past 20 years. I am almost fluent in Deutsch! Auf Wiedersehen!

Hi, my name is Mayank Agrawal (dont ask on how to pronounce, i have heard 10 diffrent versions of my name, one of which is Mary Ann (?), and really dont care.) I am vice leader and a senior member of team 810 of Smithtown. I usually help out with alot of things, but also have a lot of downtime which led some of my team members to call me the "Team Slacker".
I am currrently working in a lab at a nearby university (prety exciting). During my downtime i talk to my friends, hang out somewhere, or go to a movie if i am really bored. But right now most of my time is spent on my computer for some reason. ;)
If any of you want to contact me, I am almost always online on:-

AIM- Mbusters01

Just tell me that you are from CD, or you will be blocked :p

I'm Brandon. I try to keep order here. People like me. People don't like me.

I work alot. I'm getting married in 38 days. I have a website that I don't keep up as much as I would like to.

I sell webspace for spare cash.

FIRST story:
No, I was never technically 'on' a FIRST team in high school. My dad is one of the coaches on team 47, and I started helping with this website in 1998, because I kinda knew HTML. In doing so, I taught myself PERL and PHP, and improved my HTML. If I hadn't worked on this website, I possibly wouldn't have the necessary skills to complete my every day tasks at work.

I graduated from University of Detroit Mercy with BS in CS a few months ago.

I like music.

I like to write in choppy sentences.

:)

My name is Jestin McCarthy, pretty tough huh. I've been a member of 131 C.H.A.O.S. out of Manchester, NH for 2 years now. Its been some of the best times of my life therefore im coming back to help the team again this year. I'll be a freshman at the University of New Hampshire this fall. I met my girlfriend (Giselle T287) in Hartford in 2001. So far things have been going very smoothly with us, so I guess FIRST relationships can work out. She is attending MIT. Hmmm I'm a very good alpine skier, love all outdoor activities. You name a sport and I've probably played it. Born in Los Angeles, CA on August 6th 1983 so yea im 19. I have a brother just entering high school, and yes he is joining robotics. Two parents reside at my house. Thats about it. Any questions just ask.

Hi everyone! I'm Ann-Marie, a strategy member from 783.. for those that were at the Canadian regional, I was the girl with the cookies asking about your bot :) . Let's see, on the team I do what I can, usually with strategy and scouting, I tend to be the one breaking up the team fights. Umm...this'll be my second year in FIRST, I can't wait! Let's see, I used to do drama a lot, but I've finally had it with the drama head, so more mobotics for me! Umm... I work in a tiny lil ice cream booth for $6.40/h (CDN) I enjoy reading, computer stuff(I work on Cinema 4DXL stuff occaisonally and am in the process of re-concepting and designing my entire website) I go out with my friends a LOT.. in fact, I say between my friends, my boss, school and robotics, I have no control over what I do.. other people run my life! ;P .. Oh I've also gotten into writing again(it's one of my big passions) and I'm writing for an online RPG some of my friends got me into called <a href="http://www26.brinkster.com/warlock1/"> Warlock</a> I post as "Ainenox Cerridwen" so go check out the profile I wrote or some of the posts I've done in "Laguadia" ... it sounds weird but it's a lot of fun and gives me a chance to work on my writing and such. Yes, I am big on the RPGs.. I'm an AD&D chick and you can't change that no matter how much you bash the game.
Is that enough for everyone? Oh I also have an amazing bf.. who isn't in robotics *sigh*
My icq is # 162691028 Drop me a line or something if you want to chat, just tell me you're from here, I have no patience for random ppl that msg me.

I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. Seriously, I'm Heidi Foster, and I'm absolutely bored right now because I'm waiting for a conference call to come through and I can't leave my desk. I'm the adult (though I've been told by several students that I'm no adult) who is suppose to supervise the student(s) in charge of information on team 116, but no one's ever really told me what I'm suppose to do, so I just occasionally ask "Ya' doin' what ya' s'pose be doin'?". I do take a lot of pictures for the team, and I guess (eww, I just noticed there's a big hairy spider on my window, luckily outside, but he's casting very big shadows on my desk) you could say I've appointed myself to the role of poking fun at Dave Lavery (sorry Dave, it's just fun to do) and reminding Eric (engineer) of what he has to do because his memory is quite faulty. And I have a whole other life besides that where I do things like read, and write, and dance, and laugh, and all kinds of fun things with my imaginary, I mean, very real friends. Yep, the friends are real, the cats are imaginary.

MissInformation

<==========>
Sometime's I'm amazed by what I see looking outside my window, but the phone's ringing, so I can't tell you what I just saw...

Well I think my signature says that most about me...I'm Kristina from HartBurn 691. My dad's an engineer but I have no plans whatsoever or persuing that field. I was recruited to the team for the sole purpose of super management. I head up the team that's in charge of doing all the paperwork, spirit, ordering parts, making travel arrangements, fundraising, scouting, and sponsor relations. I also make sure that our advisor knows what's going on since he usually doesn't and that the boys on the team take care of themselves (like remind them to eat).

Outside of robotics I am a UCLA bound student (yes, still one more month of summer) studying poli sci so I can go to law school. Did 4-H, piano, student government, etc and now that that's all done with i'm just bored. Always on IM, screen name is: doanie8.

as my name says, i have the worst sense of humor on my team! My name is Greg Perkins, and i am now(thank god) a seinor at Nashua Seinor High School North, in Nashua NH. I was a techie last year on our team, now i am a wiring freak! i helped wire our robot in one day before our public unveiling, and it worked like a dream. i usually spend numerous hours in my basement constructing mini-battlebots, although none have competed yyet.
i am going to pursue mech-engineering at Northeastern, WPI, Clarkson, RPI, or RIT. although my sat's are crappy, i might have a chance.

talk some time.

I am Mike, Mike Marantis. This will be my 3rd year in FIRST and I will be a senior. I am the president of the club and the webmaster of our new website http://lightningrobotics.com , all hand coded. I need a life, anyone selling one?

Lets see...My name is Katelyn Elizabeth Fix, and I am on team 269. I live in Oconomowoc, WI. That is right, I am sure all of you now know how to say that name...LOL. Anyways...I work at a Jewish Camp. It is a place where Jewish people come and have retreats. I work in the kitchen preparing food. It is not the best job, but it lets me off for sports, and robotics. By the way I play volleyball...I am a setter, and an outside hitter, and i am also captain this year. For robotics this past year i mostly worked on mechanical elements. One thing that i spent a lot of time doing was trying to make the perfect basket for our robot. That was definately hell. I was basically helping out this other girl from my team. She had all these ideas, and i helped her make all these different designs. They were all good ideas, but none of them worked on our robot. Oh well...we had fun making them. We even made up a song, but that is another story...LOL. This was my first year actually being on the robotics team. My older brother was on the team for 3 years before me, so i have been exposed to FIRST for a while now. This coming year I am gonna be a senior...yeah. I am excited about that. After high school...I am sorry to say I am not going to school to become an engineer. I am going to school to become a genetic therapist...or something having to do with genetics. I guess I am proof that you don't have to be interested in an engineering field to be in FIRST. It is all about science and math skills, and I definately used my math skills with trying to figure out all of the gear ratios. That was so much fun...;).

If you ever want to chat just IM me.....Yahoo IM...cat2421

<----- Ok Hi my name is Todd Derbyshire from TJ^2, Team 88.(Look to the left and you would have already have known that). This fall I'm going to be a freshman at the University of New Hampshire trying to find a direction to go to. (A.K.A I'm undecided) For the years I was on TJ^2 I was a driver, human player, and strategist. Outside of FIRST I played football for a year and track indoor and outdoor. Also outside of school I played the card game Magic the gathering professionally. Off and on I will travel to PTQ for Pro Tours in Japan and Australia. Other than that I hang out with my friends alot. I always take time for stupid acts of nonsense ask anyone on 88. LOL if any girls in the NH area are looking for a guy my AIM is BigBrothaDerby and my email is about to change so I don't know what it will be yet. Well hopefully next year I will get the time off to rejoin the robotics gang and take home the Nats trophy.

P.S. UNH Hockey or FIRST (This is going to be a diliema)

FIRST, of course! ;) :D

hi! my name is Molly Menges. technically, i'm not really on a team right now. i was on team 45..the technokats for 3 years. right now i'm a freshman at purdue university, and i hope to be on their team this year. (461) um...i think that's about it. if you want to know anything else you can IM me: MollyMae83

NO NO NO you don't understand. UNH Hockey is like a way of life in Durham, NH. They are simply the best Division 1 hockey team out there. Maine is going down this season. But you know what FIRST is still tops on my list. Just above UNH hockey.

Phillips, Mike Phillips. I am a junior at Hammond High School. I am also turning 17 September 23rd!! Anywayz, next year will be my second year with F.I.R.S.T. I am currently web designer and one of the pit slaves (mechanic, electrician, etc.) for Team 71, Team Hammond Robotics. I might be a driver and animation designer also because both of our drivers graduated and one of them was also the animation designer. When I am not involved with robotics in some way, I surf the net, design web pages (for practice), fail miserably at playing the guitar, do some computer tech support for people, and do some flatland and freestyle BMX. I also loooooooooove to listen to music. I also play golf because it's basically the only sport I am moderately good at. I only know a handfull of people from other robotics teams and I like to talk to new people and make new friends, so if you ever wanna chat just IM me on Aol Instant Messenger (MikeIsOnFYRE). I also have MSN Messenger, but I don't want to post my e-mail so just e-mail me through my profile on here or ask for it on AIM. I am usually online, so feel free.

Hello, my name is Zengi Hu. I am a pneumatic guy on team 865, YES Team Canada. It's my first year in FIRST I feels great, I learned a lot of things.Too bad that Engineering is not my goal for the future, my goal is to be an astronomy....so sad. I play flute in the school band and play table tennis.

Hey Jestin!!!!
 

Hey jestin are you going to RiverRage and if so can you give me a ride!!!!! Please!!!!

Hi... I'm Jeremy Nadke... and I'm a FIRST-a-holic... :D

This was my first year on the team (and unfortunately) the last. Last year my buddy was on it for 1 year (like me) and he told me about it, so I joined this year. I will be a Freshman at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and intend to major in Electrical Engineering. This year I was in charge of programming... but I did help out in many electrical aspects since programming didn't take very long.

Hey everyone! I'm Max Gutman, a proud member of team 810, the Smithtown High School Mechanical Bulls. I am going into my junior year of high school, and my second year on the FIRST team. Last year I did random small jobs for the team, but I hope to be more active this year, especially since I was just elected team secretary. Aside from robotics, I also enjoy listening to music, surfing the web, going on AIM, and long walks on the beach. I also play a little bit of guitar, bass guitar, and piano and am a black belt in jiu-jitsu. I used to play golf, and am hoping to get back into it.

If you feel like talking to me, IM me at GotGuts610 or email me at GotGuts610@aol.com

Hello everyone! I'm one of the sponsors with Team 547 - Lincoln County TN and can't wait for things to get started. This will be my second year participating with a FIRST team. I had an absolute blast and am looking forward for the year to get moving. Our team is growing by leaps and bounds...and I hope we continue to be an outgoing/friendly group. I wish everyone the best of luck this year...:D

I would have chosen hockey hands down if this was a few years ago, but now im not so sure :confused:

Oh c'mon - everyone knows that FIRST is where it's at! ;)

Junior at Timberlane Regional HS in Plaistow NH.
Captain on Team 350 Timberlane Tantrum
3rd year doing FIRST, well kinda. For the 2002 season we didnt have a sponsor, so we modified our 2001 robot and are competing in some post season comps (namely river rage). So many of you may not have heard of us.
FIRST makes up about 1/3rd of my life, as I am the only true FIRST- a-holic on my team (that and the only veteran).
Another 1/3rd of my life is music. I have been playing trombone for about 7 years now (since 4th grade). I play in the school's marching band (im equipment manager this year), both jazz bands, wind enesmble, and dixieland band.
The last 1/3rd is the tech crew. I do most all of the lighting for the school for plays musicals etc.

Hi i'm Courtney from team 330 (like u couldn't figure that out). I am a freshie so it is my first year on the team. I have a brother who was on the team and everybody knows but i don't think he will let me reveal his identity. I like (well actually am obsessed about) The Lord of the Rings, TobyMac, Superchic[k],and Relient K. I live in Redondo Beach, CA. It was like 80 degrees today and it is November. I am the new web master 4 the team so pLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE visit the new site when it is up. It will probably be beachbot.tripod.com. (our old site is there but probably in jan. 03 it will be the new 1) There is nothing else interesting about me. (Except if u know who TobyMac is, cause i am on his DVD/music video thingy! {check out tobymac.com}) So I hope 2 c u all @ the competions! Team 330 is signed up 4 the Arizona regional and th LA regional! (which we have won the past 2 years)

Hi, I'm Melissa from team 1037 (<-- HINT: Rookie Team:D ) Um...This is my first year in robotics...mainly b/c our school is new and all. I'm a sophomore and I'm on 3 sub-teams: Programming, Design, and Web Design. (Still learning all this PBasic stuff...already know the in and outs of HTML, JAVA, and stuff) Besides Robotics, I'm a bando...:eek: can't get any weirder... (I play the flute in Marching Band...although our band doesn't compare to RHS, Bassoon in Symphony, and Piano.) Until build season starts, I'll also be training in Shotokan. (Martial Arts from Japan) I'm not online much...mainly due to all of the classes I take which give considerable amounts of homework...but feel free to IM on AIM:
