Is Dan the field coach for 40?

One thing I hope FIRST does in St. Louis on one of the days is a gigantic mentor parade. While rolling out celebrities and captains of industry are nice n all it's the mentors who have made FIRST the powerhouse that it has become this day and least FIRST could do is give them their moment in the sun (or what passes for sun in a domed stadium) to let them know that they stuck with the program in spite of everything they had to go through to make it all work.

While no current mentors on 190 were involved in 1992, we do have a professor at WPI, Prof. Stephen Jasperson, who was on the team in 1992. He was my advisor for the first semester of my freshman year, and it was awesome to hear his stories from that year. I believe he was involved for the next few years as well.

Both are always around the pits particularly Ron who is always bossing around...uh I mean, mentoring the students about driving.
Just don't call him Koko Ed or do what Tytus did one year and smack him in the butt with his clipboard. Now I only wish 25 would have shot him in my place back in 2005 but they never found me anyways. I still owe Greg payback for putting that contract out on me.

Couldn't agree more Ed.

Mr. Tom O'Connell has been a mentor for Team 126, Gael Force, for 20 years.

Dan is the field coach, engineer, lead mentor, truck driver, inspiration, heart and soul and "tackling dummy" for Checkmate.

And a nice guy. (Don't tell him I said that)

I remember Dan getting tackled by the tarp at Battlecry once.
He's a pretty agile guy. He just tumbled straight back up to his feet and was surprisingly fine.
