Re: UFH: Raul Olivera
Raul,
Ever since I first saw a Wildstang robot at GLR in 1998, I have been inspired by the work of you and your fabulous team. Each year I eagerly await the unveiling of the new engineering marvel that is the team 111 robot. These robots are part of the reason I keep coming back every season. When designing the 2004 team 1114 robot, we noticed that we kept coming back to old Wildstang designs (among many other great teams as well, especially the Chief Delphi bots from 1998-200). We wanted to emulate the best, and it worked out unbelievably.
If I've been inspired this much just by watching your creations, I can only imagine how rewarded your students and fellow mentors are.
I've always enjoyed our discussions at competitions. I look forward to running into you again this season. Congratulations on a well deserved honour.
