Yep. My brother Mike will be behind the glass for 217 this year. He has coached at IRI for the last two years so he has a lot of experience behind the glass. 217 historically practices every day after ship with the practice bot (think like a sports team here) so it was not fair to this year's drive team to not have that practice time with the actual drive coach. Besides, Mike is a better coach than I am as he keeps his cool much, much better than I do.

I will be at FLR with 217 on week 1, Cass Tech with 217 week 2, Dallas with 148 week 3, week 4 off, and week 5 with 148 in Dallas. I am really upset that Michigan State Championship is not week 6 this year.

Not this year. I have this little thing called the VEX Robotics Competition that we have in 20 countries all over the world. Week 4 I have to be in New Zealand (yep, the country) for their country's championship. During week 4 this year I will miss my first team 217 match in 11 years. It will be a very somber day for me...
