I had a simialr experience at WPI.. when I was taken to their build site on a tour.. and someone in the front said "Whoa! Look at that robot!" I checked it out, and started giving about a 20 min. lecture on it.
Also, I was in hooters in Binghamton this spring, and someone was wearing a Championship 2003 shirt.... quite possibly a member of Ithaca or the Norwich team... wish I had asked. *chicken*
I have therapy about every other day... I spend half the time in therapy.. and half the time gabbing about FIRST to my therapist.
