Re: So, you're not an engineer! How do you help your team??

I answered this in a NEMO thread.

I am a third year animation mentor on team 191 the X-Cats.
My wife, who is a teacher at Joseph C. Wilson Magnet High School (computer programming) was offered to join the team by another teacher at the school, Peggy Foos. My wife asked if I wanted to join and do animation which I always wanted to do.
I work at Xerox as a meterials handler which is basically a fork truck driver, I must be the only one involved in FIRST. I have worked at Xerox for over 16 years. I also attend RIT majoring in Computer Graphics and Fine Arts (which I guess means I could have been a Visioneer or even a Finney Falcon, then again I could have been a Sparx as well) and I am now three courses away from a Bachelors Degree, I had first attended RIT to do animation (but those courses were only for graduate students not for part time night students) Over ten years later I get the opportunity to do animation for the X-Cats.
I also do major artistic endevors like the massive banner we bring along to the competitions and this year worked on the parts crate and at the competitions I am a chaperone (help my wife and Mrs. Foos make sure the kids are where they are supposed to be and that they have money, food, ect.)
