Are you a NERD?

[Andy Grady]

Do you take pride in the fact that FIRST HQ is in Manchester NH?

Does the word "Wicked" show up a little more in your vocabulary than the average FIRST person?

Do you stress Defense over Offense?

Do you curse everytime the midwest has a team in the championship winning alliance?

Do you think that regionals were much better at New Hampshire College?

Do the letters UTC mean more than just a company to you?

Have you heard the phrase "How ya doin!" and thought of Bridgewater Mass. instead of New York City?

Do you miss Rumble at the Rock?

Do you even remember Rumble at the Rock?

Is your motto..."Why score? There are three robots on the field that I call targets!"

Do you feel that winning Battlecry carries more weight than any regional outside of New England?

Have you ever broken your robot at a pre-season scrimmage event?

Did you think it was really cool when it happened?


If you answered yes to any of these questions...you might be a NERD...


NERDS '06'...the best team, is one that is made of many...

Comming soon...

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

I found that morsel of a list delicious. :-D

Very realistic stuff too. TEeehee.

I am most definitely a NERD

Some of that stuff was before my time though.

I'm thinking this is about some New England Robotics DOMINATION in 2006...bring it on, Grady. I'm looking forward to it.

Ahem...Elgin, I'm barely allowed to use the term "Manch-vegas" and I live here!

Otherwise you would be correct.



By the way...good guess work everyone...

Of course you can guess the name all you want...but what does it truely mean?

I guess we'll find out soon.

[Ian Curtis]

So now NERD has a logo and several guesses at its meaning. Any plans for an unveiling?
