I didn't want to be a dumb blonde. (Well, I guess there wasn't any real danger of that since I'm not blonde, but still. . .
)
I started in FLL, then went straight to the big 'bots. I loved the machine shop, in fact I still do, the ability to make parts for a robot out of a hunk of metal is somehow very alluring.
I learned a LOT in my first two years on FRC, and I plan on learning more in my last two.
Bring on 2008!
