*This actually did happen to our team a few years ago. There was about 18 or so inches of snow during the day while we were working at the school shop, and when we decided to try to leave, the team could not get the doors to open because too much snow had piled up against them. It was too late at night (about 2 AM) to call someone's family to dig us out, so our team cleared off the work tables and slept there for the night.  |
$14) A little.
$15)More than you know.
$16)My step father hates when I start talking about it because I haven't shutup about it in 7 years.
add this: If you've ever been hit by a deer, wrecked your car, on the way to the meeting, and still arrived on time.
and this: If you've ever begged the only tech guy at the firstPLACE during the off season to give you a tour, AND GOT ONE, because you flew 800 miles to see it.
and this: If you worked for months in preperation for the start of competition your rookie year (and your teams rookie year) to learn the programming language required. (P-BASIC for me.. and I was the only programmer)
