this will be year ten for me also. i started as a student in '96.

progression:

year 1 - team 1 - three dimensional services, now juggernauts, driver

year 2 - team 94 - lear corporation, now technojays i think, driver

year 3 - team 68 - truck town terror, now truck town thunder, driver

year 4 - team 221 - MI Roboworks, temporarily retired, driver, designer

(this was the team i started from scratch and built with friends in my basement!, i picked beatty and team rush in the finals....we lost to wildstang and placed fourth at nationals.)

year 5 - team 221 - MI Roboworks, i moved the team to Michigan Tech after i graduated high school, mentor, engineer
