Hey CD,
As the past few weeks have flown by and I've seen my senior teammates and a lot of my Facebook friends from other robotics teams end their high school careers, I've noticed that the majority of awesome kids I've met through FIRST will no longer be students next year. The senior class is often the leaders, drivers, and rock stars of FIRST that other students look up to. This leads me to want to know a little bit more about all of the other great students from my class that I haven't yet gotten an opportunity to meet. So I figured any students reading this from the class of 2015 could answer a few questions so we can all get to know each other and create a great senior class next year.

Some questions I came up with:
What role are you going to have on your team during your final season as an FRC student?
What is the biggest thing you are looking forward to for your last season?
What are your plans beyond high school?

As for my answers:
I'm the team captain for 1058, the PVC Pirates, and I lead the CAD and design of the robot. I also run strategy and could possibly be a driver (we'll see) this upcoming year. On top of that I have been one of our Chairman's award presenters for the last two seasons.
The biggest thing I am looking forward to is having one more game to really lead designing a robot on. This past year was my first as a true designer so I can't wait to do it again.
For after high school, my plan is to get a degree in mechanical engineering at a northeast college and then get a job as a robot designer.

So class of 2015, what's your story? I can't wait to share my last season with all of you!

P.S. Congrats to all of the graduating Seniors in FRC this year! There were so many great students from your class that I had the pleasure of meeting.
