Sorry, but I'm going to 'break the rule' of 1 person, and mention 2! Sorry
First,
My team co-captain, Jeff Babbie. His role included programming the robot. Great kid, did a fantastic job programming the robot, works really well with everyone on the team. Is generous, supportive and totally reliable. Shows up for every event, does everything asked of him, whether it's a menial task or not. Comes early, stays late. Great sense of humor.
Kids like him are why I mentor a FIRST team every year.
Second,
My wonderful engineer, Bob Koehl. The best ever. Excellent mentor and teacher, passionate about engineering and FIRST. Makes the kids do the work. Makes the kids figure everything out. Yells when he needs to, praises when he needs to. He can do it all and he can teach it all- programming, design, mechanical, electrical. Wow! We LOVE Bob!
