Re: In Memory of Dr. Bart Kamen
Dr. Kamen was an inspiration to Team 1114. Our interactions with him through the Chairman's judging process over the years were nothing short of amazing. We would be truly honoured to display these stickers on our robot.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. Kamen, here's a moving tribute video that was made for him by the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
