We will have a senior reprising his role as primary driver for the third and final time, and I will be serving as primary student coach/strategist for my third and final time. Our human player has played all four years, and our secondary is returning for his second year.

We're a tight group. We're never not at meetings. Our primary is a programmer who knows the limits of the controls, but not what a mechanical person believes to be the limit of the robot. He is the only driver I have seen bullying/pinning teams while on a mecanum drive. Our secondary is very involved with the manipulator, tested it for speed, distance, and accuracy, and knows its sweet spots.

Our primary has said I love the game and FIRST more than everyone on the team combined. I've played around with different math ideas, game breaking, ideal practices, and I go out to other teams to show them how awesome our robots are. Our other coach, who serves with me when I can't make it, has the same kind of passion and literally the same name) as me.

Our human player has the best hand-eye coordination on the team, probably outscoring our robot in 2009, only letting by 1 foul in 2010, and throwing tube onto the robot in 2011. No reason he can't chuck the ball in a hoop in the last 30 seconds, right?

A tight knit, seasoned group of individuals who understand the robot, the mission of FIRST, and the volatile seeding and eliminations rounds.
