I have been involved in FIRST since 1999, was a driver, team captain, and currently a lead mentor for Team 354, Westinghouse Pirates. I have been out on the field as a Coach since 2005. I am currently an Engineer, a graduate of Hofstra University and I know my FIRST Robots. More importantly I am extremely familiar with Logomotion (just competed in NYC) and the rule book.
here is the deal, Im bored, I wanna be involved. Week 4 is the Long Island Regional and I want a taste. I wanna be on a team Saturday, all day. You can have me all day Saturday if your interested. You and your team can do whatever you want with me. You need me as a scout, Im there, you need me as a coach? I'm there. Need me to drive the robot? I cant, I'm too old, FIRST wont let me. All im asking for in return is a size Large Tee shirt and a team number I can shout at the top of my lungs!
So listen up Long Island! I wanna Play! Don't let this 10+ year Mentor go to waste!!!
