I get inspiration from all over.
I get inspiration from walking through the aisles of the local hardware store. (It's how I found the EMT tubing that's on the shooter ramps of our robot. It was cheap, easily bent, and I said "Why not?")
I get inspiration from seeing things
I wrote off as impossible or of
things I never even thought about.
I get inspiration from the kids as the light bulbs come on, as they come back adjusting their schedules so they can make the second event they thought they had a conflict with.
I get inspiration from the college kids as I see them mature. (Relatively, anyway.

)
I get inspiration from winning, getting validation of all our hard work.
I get inspiration from getting our butts handed to us, fueling us to improve and fight back.
