Go to Post Once you get to college, remember that FRC is not your life anymore (or at least it doesn't have to be). Don't be afraid to try new things, and branch away from the things you swear by in high school - buildmaster5000 [more]

I want to take this chance to say yaaay Dave.
The Dave I am refering to is the Dave Lavery from NASA. He has been with 116 through two schools and I believe this is his 7th year. I've been with the team for the past three years. He has been one of the 5-10 most influential people in my life. I say that because it is so hard to quantify such things.
Mainy it is his overwhelming drive to be graciously professional.
I got alot of my sense of honor and fairplay from Dave. He was able to make it fun to do the best within the constructs of the game. In making my mind fit around the rules and finding a creative way to solve the problem. Of stoping work when we are suppost to, even though noone else would know.
The priciple became important, not the end result.
That idea of honor/GP has spilled over into the rest of my life as well, and I think that it has made me a better person overall.
Not only that, he puts in alot of time with FIRST as an organization, and works to get funding for many new teams from NASA.
I hope that someday I can work with a new team, and pass on the principles I learned from Dave Lavery.
