You need an understanding wife, and for that, I'm grateful for.
My wife of 24+ years proudly wears the label of "Robotics Widow" during January - March of each year!

I got involved because my then Freshman son wanted to join, so I figured it was a good Father-Son thing to do. He is now a Junior in college (so hasn't been on the team for 3 years), but here I am as a Mentor for my 7th season. I have loved every minute of it - watching kids go through the program, seeing them mature and become young adults - Engineers, Mathematicians, Computer Scientists, etc... all because of this program!
