Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

Yeah, that's who I was thinking of, my bad

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

Car Nac is the Highlander! THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!!!!!

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

Wow, well I'm not one for thinking inside the box, so I've decided to take a different look at this hint. Since this post has more information in it then the others, I assume that Car Nack is from team 88. He'd have to be on a team that's been in the game for awhile to make these predictions. I've gotten some books on code from my library though, so hopefully I can crack this.

Hopefully I'll see you at Atlanta, just in case :D,

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

He's not. If you know where to look, I think he posted on the wrong account by mistake a while ago.

HELLOOOooooo from the North East :D
Car Nack is not from team 88 :rolleyes: his team came into FIRST the same year as TJ2. I can not give any more news at this time . I don't know if CAR Nack would like to be found at this point in time. I can check with him, very few know him (as CAR NACK). More info. could come later on this matter :ahh: -------- GOOD LUCK TO ALL THE GREAT TEAMS IN 2009 we at TJ2 TEAM 88 say oh yeah ???? OH YEAH !!!!! See All SOOooooooooon.

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

I am continually amazed at the phenomenon where someone will post a straight answer (correctly, even citing evidence) to a thread's question in the thread, but others will continue to guess/speculate (incorrectly).

Is it because no one bothers to read the threads?

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

John,
My dad used to say, "God gave you two ears and only one mouth, so that you would listen twice as often as you would talk." Some would say I didn't follow his advice.

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

I think Paul Simon nailed the problem:Read a whole thread before posting? Who's got the attention span for that? :rolleyes:

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

I didn't take the time to read the whole thread, but it's pretty obvious to me that John is Car Nack. Fact. Write it down. Stamp it. Send it to Washington.

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

Bill Beatty. Hmmmm. Well, then I guess my other question is what makes him qualified to make these predictions :D .

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

This is a wonderful question.

Mr. Beatty is a legend. Look in the FIRSTwiki link in the portal and check out FRC 71, Team Hammond. What you will see is a listing of achievements. That's a start. Then you can do some searches here in ChiefDelphi for discussions about Mr. Beatty. Words like brilliant strategists might be a good way to search. Great contributors to the vision, the goals, the potential of this thing called FIRST. Woodie Flowers Award winners - WFAs - those would be a good start.

Another thing you can do is something I did a year ago at Kickoff. You can spend an hour that flies by way too fast, talking with an alumnus of FRC 71 and learn about the team, the community of Hammond, the struggles and achievements of the team within that community. If you do any of these things, you will have gained wisdom and a deeper understanding of those who commit their lives to insuring that young people are involved in and inspired by science, technology, and community. And maybe you will have gained some understanding of the humor and wisdom that surrounds Car Nack and his predictions.

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

Just about anybody can make a prediction, no special qualifications are required. Post away!

Car Nack has his own corner to make predictions in due to his incredible insight and accuracy. Four Championship medals and a Championship WFA (actually back then there was only one WFA) do not hurt either.

Re: Who is Car Nack?
 

Jane's comments in the preceding post are spot-on.

I've posted my thoughts on FRC 71 before, so now I will keep it short:

(1) Why do I respect Car Nack's predictions? Hmmm, maybe it's the gleam of those four FRC Championship trophies on his credenza? Or, if that record isn't impressive enough,

(2) I've personally seen Team Hammond in action twice: once at the 1996 Championship (Epcot) where they seeded #1 in their very first event, and again ten years later at the 2006 St. Louis Regional (see link above). Both times, they were the most inspirational team in the field.

HELLOOOooo from the North Ease :D
WELL MOST CAN NOT BREAK THE CODE there is always some new thoughts on this but Car Nack has a team in FIRST. Car Nack (knows math ) HE is very good in gears and this part of FIRST. Some may see him in a RUMBLE HAT back in the day there are some pictures of him on different webs. His team has had (3) different TEAM #'s It is a very well know team such as TJ2 is. well, may you all keep building for the 2009 season. :yikes:
I will check in later I am off to work on the NEW DRIVE :ahh: AH YOU will have to think about this. oh yeah ???? OH YEAH !!!!
TYE DYE (FOREVER) SEE YAH SOOoooooon
THIS year will be A HOOT ---------- :yikes:
