Re: What truely is a NERD?
 

Hey nerds are going to get somewhere in life. Just because you have a passion about robotics and engineering does not really mean you are a nerd.Technically people just call us nerds because they dont understand what we are doing and it seems too hard for them to do, but really they just haven't tried. ;) ;)

Re: What truely is a NERD?
 

my friends think of me when they hear nerd because I always carry a C programming refrence book, a laptop, and a flash drive(which I decorated with a charm and wear it as a necklace, very stylish for me anyhow). 'm always researching on my laptop and perfecting the program for the robot as much as a I can and research how other teams are doing and between social life and FIRST. How do I still have a social life anyhow? :confused: lol oh well
