Libby, the MidKnights are lucky to have you. As a team coach I am blessed to have three that are driving 2 hours from college on Friday/Saturdays to mentor and work with our team. One of them helped found our team nine years ago and has not missed a build season yet. Not sure what it will be like to build a robot without him when he graduates from college next year.

For all of you who are doing the long drives I cannot tell you how much those of us who are in the trenches with them every day appreciate your presence on the weekends so on behalf of all of us THANK YOU!
