Israeli team asking for volunteers to drive their robot at Champs

[thedries]

Assuming the division lists are correct, it looks like 11 and 3358 will be in the same division ( Newton ). I talked everything over with my team, and we be happy to offer any assistance they might need. While I agree that their best bet would be to use a drive team that has worked together before, we will still have our 2 alternate drivers available should they require it, as well as a full pit team to help with any repairs they might require.

UPDATE - April 19th

(did that grab your attention? )

Ok, I think I PM'd everyone who specifically offered to volunteer, and sent them a link to a form for them to fill. If you didn't get PM'd, Don't sweat it! just PM me and let me know what position you'd like to be in.

I'm sorry for not being more on top of things, but some personal stuff got in the way.

My intention is to finalize the list tomorrow, I'll keep everyone posted!

Okay, Leav is away from a computer at the moment and apologizes that he can't post this message himself, but I have volunteered to give the following information in regards to 3358 at Championship:

First, thanks SO MUCH to everyone who has volunteered! The outpouring of support is wonderful, and we wish there was room for everyone to drive, coach, etc., as they indicated they wanted to. We tried to spread things out amongst multiple teams as best as possible.

Second, there will still be a need for pit crew and scouting, so even if your name didn't make "the list", your effort in those capacities will be most appreciated.

Third, the list, assuming everyone is still interested:

Danielle Sisk (2493; Dean's List finalist) will be Pit Crew Lead.
Jason Law (2834; Dean's List finalist) will be the Drive Coach.
Justin Johnson (357) will be the Human Player.
Adam Dean and Alex Whipple (1551) will be the Drivers.
Hannah Farrell (433) will be the Programmer.
Chris Lin (365) will be on minibot detail.
Michael Crane (357) will be Lead Mentor of the amalgam team, with me running backup as needed.

Everyone else who volunteered to be on the pit crew and/or to do scouting, etc., your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much!

Hi everyone,

very sorry to have dragged this out so long, but there were several "unscheduled events" going on during the last week which really kept me busy and away from a computer.

I'd like to thank everyone who volunteered to help, and wish you all a great championship.

This experience has been very heartwarming and I'm proud to be part of same community as you all.

make St. Louis 2011 a championship to remember!
