I had so much fun! Although most people at IRI heard this story, do you know how many times I was on drive crew when I was in HS?

Once. At Battlecry, shortly after I graduated.

Being able to operate (and successfully hang!) 269 was amazing. And it was really sweet that 716 thought of me for their crew, too

With what you said about the "crowd coming back to life" was absolutely true. The matches were exciting in a different way: not only were the robots themselves interesting, but you knew that basically everyone out on the field was new, nervous, and for 2 minutes, allowed to be a kid.

In short, If I hear that IRI won't have the mentor match, I'll be hard pressed to fly out there
