With all the creative juices that flow thru this program, how come there isn't a secondary competition that requires that non-students be the drivers.......give the engineers a shot at it and the college kids who long for their driving days............just add it on to one of the post-season meets as an extra or maybe FIRST could set up a field for friendly competition at kick off(using last years)....I'm sure u will find a way to drive again.

: hey! i remember you driving for chief delphi! (i was driver for 3 years on my high school- i don't know how i'm going deal with not having that these days)

: to answer your question- how could i give up FIRST, no way!! over here at BostonUniversity they started a team last year and are looking to continue it this year and I am definitely working as a major part of keeping it alive. we kinda lack a lot of support from the college, but we're slowly and surely getting the FIRST word out in this big city of Boston and the BU community so all those likely people attending the NJ regional and the Nationals will likely see my FIRST-aholic face on Team #246. FIRST has done so much for me and consumed my life so much i don't think i could survive a year without it!

: i feel your pain about not driving!! i'm hoping i can at least be a coach this year so i can get my filling of the on-stage competition, although nothing in the world will replace the ability to control those 'bots..
