First of all, short people are not actually challenged. We are in fact, very very very skilled at obtaining family-size individuals to help us reach things and or put us into tall locations. Some of these family-size individuals are people, others are inanimate objects. It varies.

Indeed!!!
I'm 4'11" and am so far the shortest person to post on this thread!! w00t!

Another point:
We're very useful when those tall ppl are just a tad too short to reach something, and they need an addition to their height.

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
