I know for a fact that a few of the members of the Bobcats (177) who were on the team in the 97-98 seasons, graduated, and are now working at the sponsor company of 177, UTC Fuel Cells-- so they are back on the team as mentors.

The last day of the championship back in 2002, in Florida, the whole team was heading for the party in Epcot, i stopped as i was exiting the stadium area, and looked back at what i was leaving.... i can still remember exactly how it looks now, and it gives me the chills.

But you are right, it is very different when you can't drive the robot, just make sure you enjoy the stick time while you've got it!! FIRST will be there when you're in college, but make sure you put school and your grades first, this is something i'm struggling with

Best of luck!

Tom
