I've got a three-way split:

Paul Luffel, team captain and founder. Without him, none of this would have been possible.

Jay Sims, team freshman . The kid that's been there at my side, keeping me from feeling stupid by learning with me.

Charles Copeland, our mentor. He's been so great-- he's tried to do as little work as he can on the bot, physically, but he challenges us to find solutions to any problems we find along the way. He shoots our ideas down (yes, that is a good thing... some of our ideas aren't the brightest concepts ever) and helps keep us focused.

All three are great teachers, great students, and great friends. I love being around them, and we've all learned from each other.

I've (hopefully) got two more years with them before I'm not allowed to build, and then, many years of teamwork in mentoring students.

That's what separates the person who thinks I wonder why they can't just make shampoo and conditioner in one? from the one who thinks Now, should I get the Mercedes, or another BMW?"
