Dean Kamen Broke Our Robot!!

Yes folks it's true. Today myself and three fellow Miracle Workerz went to an awards conference for the Common Wealth awards at the Hotel duPont. Bob Dole and Sam Donaldson were two of the other award winners, and Dean Kamen was as well. We, along with team 316 The Lunatecs, were stationed outside of Dean Kamen's press room, and after he was done, he came out to speak with us again (he had already chatted with us about the game and whatnot beforehand). I asked Dean, "How would you like to drive a championship winning robot?" and he says, "I would be honored" So he drives the robot for a few and one of our treads pops off, so we say to him "Dean how could you break our robot?" and he replies "I'll just have to stick to my Segway."

Just to let everyone know, the treads on Lil' MOE have a reputation for popping off.

I have to say, today was the first time I got to have a conversation with Mr. Kamen, and he truly is a good guy. He spoke of things that I could relate to, and I appreciated his down to earth personality.
