[Nick Seidl]

I tend to get nearly debilitating stomachaches at competitions. I think part of that is the poor diet (Dew, half a slice of pizza, more Dew, beef jerky and a Twinkie, more Dew), and the stress of the competition. Between making sure the robot runs, and trying not to trip and fall on my face during HP mode, and being excessively nervous around this one girl on my team, I had to get my back up for HP to start warming up at VCU. These are accompanied on occasion by hyperventilation, which also poses a few problems.
