I actually have Dave Miller, the recipient of the award, as a professor this semester in college. He is visiting for a semester, since he usually teaches at The University of Oklahoma. He is a really awesome professor who is extremely willing to go out of his way to help us. If we don't know how to do something, Dave will point us in the right direction to figure it out and guide us along the process. The work he has done with Botball is extremely cool also, and he has developed that program into an excellent way to get students excited about robotics and artificial intelligence.

So congratulations to both Dave Lavery for having such an exciting award named after him, and to Dave Miller, for receiving it and doing so much to push young minds to think about robotics!
