After the all time high of this weekends competition, I was very saddened to find about the untimely loss of Andrew Dang, a founding member of the Aragon High School (Team 840) Robotics team, who was killed in action in Iraq. I know the entire FIRST family will extend their condolences to the team and the community and family who have suffered this tragedy.

I don't know if it is appropriate, but perhaps FIRST has a mechanism to set up a memorial scholarship in this young man's memory?
