Lets see...My name is Katelyn Elizabeth Fix, and I am on team 269. I live in Oconomowoc, WI. That is right, I am sure all of you now know how to say that name...LOL. Anyways...I work at a Jewish Camp. It is a place where Jewish people come and have retreats. I work in the kitchen preparing food. It is not the best job, but it lets me off for sports, and robotics. By the way I play volleyball...I am a setter, and an outside hitter, and i am also captain this year. For robotics this past year i mostly worked on mechanical elements. One thing that i spent a lot of time doing was trying to make the perfect basket for our robot. That was definately hell. I was basically helping out this other girl from my team. She had all these ideas, and i helped her make all these different designs. They were all good ideas, but none of them worked on our robot. Oh well...we had fun making them. We even made up a song, but that is another story...LOL. This was my first year actually being on the robotics team. My older brother was on the team for 3 years before me, so i have been exposed to FIRST for a while now. This coming year I am gonna be a senior...yeah. I am excited about that. After high school...I am sorry to say I am not going to school to become an engineer. I am going to school to become a genetic therapist...or something having to do with genetics. I guess I am proof that you don't have to be interested in an engineering field to be in FIRST. It is all about science and math skills, and I definately used my math skills with trying to figure out all of the gear ratios. That was so much fun...
