I don't have any specific moments. I have a few that stand out more but there is no "most memorable" moment for me. One of them was in 2006 Atlanta, I learned that in the face of all that is wrong, you need to have a bit of faith and to not over react. At Bayou '07 I ran to our robot which was getting ready to play and I had to put on one of those blue pins that drivers have to try to fix some controls problem. As soon as my mentor and I fixed the problem we were relieved, but the excitement and the pressure and the adrenaline rush of just having to do your best in less than a minutes time was something that nothing can beat. Soon afterwards at the Lone Star regional, I was jumping up and down because I couldn't sit still in the eliminations because many of the matches were very close and one of my mentors kept saying something along the lines of "in the end everything everything will turn out OK."

And then how could I forget IRI 2007 and the gracious professionalism and teamwork shown by many people from different teams coming together to give Andy a special treat!
