Re: UFH: Mike Walker
WALKER!!!
Thanks for everything you do to help plan the Florida regional.
Many don't know this, but he also also spent multiple occasions helping mentor team 1390, including some very long nights when things just didn't seem to be coming together on the programming side. He was willing to try things out of the box such as using a heat lamp to aid a sensor... the idea didn't work out, but it was an interesting idea at 2 am and walmart was the only place open. January nights in Florida actually can get pretty cold, especially in rooms without heating... The heat lamp he bought came in useful anyhow.
Interesting Exploding Bacon fact: in 1902's first year, mike walker was fresh out of high school after being a powerhouse cheerleader on combat. He was driving around the Orlando area thinking of the new team name "exploding bacon" and what the team should cheer that would be memorable and funny at their first competition. The rest is history.
He is a leader in FIRST, and on the UCF Campus. I am glad to see Mike get recognition for it. Go Knights.
