Trust me, friend, a hundred years goes faster then you think
So don't blink.
Naw, don't blink
Life goes faster than you think.

Re: Something for my Dad

Jared,
You are not alone! I was in a very similar situation some 7 years ago. I was the new guy on 1403, loving it and getting some serious exposure to the engineering world thanks to some of our technical mentors. My Dad got the chance to chaperon a trip to the New Jersey Regional and well since the 1403 has never been the same.

He too is a business guy, he got a degree back in the day in Accounting but always was the handyman wherever he was. So gear ratios and aluminum malleability wasn't his thing, but that hasn't helped him from revising countless chairman's, business proposals, as well as being mentor lead for the strategy, scouting and drive teams. There is a lot to do outside of touching the robot... just ask NEMO!

Re: Something for my Dad

This has been one of the greatest posts that I have ever read on this forum. There are to few people who don't thank people like this. I wish I could have the same experience that you are having right now.

Good luck in the next season.
