Hre's a picture of my Younger brother, who won the WFA in Colorado this year. I shamelessly stole it off the team website
Team 1164 and cropped it. Did anyone elso notice how few photos of the WFA nominees show them looking at the camera instead of some part of the robot?
His chief delphi forum ID is "rick pierce", although he's only posted one message.
Rick's worked with his team for both years the team has competed. He joined them shortly after kickoff last year on my advice. He'd done battlebots before, but I think he likes FIRST more. His team members said he must have been sent from heaven, since he was so helpful to them. He simply replied "No, my brother sent me."
Like most of us FIRST has taken a hold on Rick. He's upgraded his workshop (soon to be housed in a new building) with welding and machining equipment to help support the team and his FIRST addiction.
Rick graduated from Michigan Tech with a BSME and has worked for the Army and Army contractors. I beleive he also finished a masters degree in business (operations research?).
I've e-mailed him and asked if his team could post their nomination.
