Favorite FIRST Memories

[Siri]

Three letters: IRI. The whole trip, from the day-long drive out, to the mentor meet & greet, to seeing the awesome robots and legendary people, to holyjeezijustcoachedatIRI, to holyjeezijustmetAndyBaker, to the endless amazing elimination rounds.

Hey, you. Yes, you, the person that hasn't been to IRI. Go. This year. Seriously.


I have powerful memories from behind the alliance station glass and working frantically in the pits, but my favorite memories always have to do with the people. Reading my co-driver without saying a word and scoring a last minute spoiler. Finishing each other's sentences and working seamlessly through early mornings and late nights. Hanging out after an unbelievably long competition Friday. ...Yeah, definitely the people that make the difference!
