Family members

my brother is comming to high school and I scared him away from the team and told him that being on the team would probably get him cut from his prized wrestling team...which is probably true....so it wasnt hard to scare him away...and same with the youngest brother...

My parents help both us and team 168. My brother(168) and I(212) are on separate teams. and when i was a Freshy he was a senior so here is the question: How many of you hae siblings on OTHER teams and arent in college?

My brother Bill and I (Jim) are on the same team.
That is tall.

My team has been corrupted by two of us plus my dad and two more await one to begin in 2003-2004 and the other to begin in 2014-2015.

Christina-

about storm and dustin, storm always had the blue/white belt, and dustin always had the red belt. and i think storm was more carefree and goofing off, whereas dustin was slightly more serious (yes, that is possible for him to be serious ).

this year, we didn't have any sibling pairs, but my little sister is considering joining next year (help me! i can just imagine the rivalry: "can you pass me that screwdriver?" "no! i'm using it!"...) and two sisters will be joining at the same time. i think we might have more siblings on the way...

does it count if you consider all your team mates your "robo-bros" and "robo-sisses" ?

Well i have/had a brother on the team. I am 17 and a senior in high school, and my brother is 19 and a sophomore in college. My brother started in FIRST when he was a sophomore in high school. When he was a junior he became the operator of the arm of our robot, and then when he was a senior he got to drive. I could have started in FIRST when i was a freshman, but i did not want to invade my brother's space, because this was something that was very important to him. He found out he wanted to be a mechanical enginner because of this. So after he graduated i decided to join, but of course my brother loved it so much he had to come back and help, which was really cool. Right now he is going to UW Platteville for Mechanical Engineering. I am sure he will come back and help next year. It will be a blast.

my brother is going to be on the team next year. i am making him. though it isnt that hard since he already knows he wants to be an engineer. he is coming this year to check everything out. i am really excited because it will be fun to teach my bro some stuff. there r 3 boys my bros age that will be joining the team soon. and one more family of 2 bros i think kt may have left off her list. atleast we hope. we r not sure the older of the two will be joining us next year. but anyway lots of family involvement and we have a good time with it.

ogre and his sister were on 173 this year

I'm an engineer on team 440 (Ford/McNaughton-McKay/Redford HS) and my brother is an engineer on team 548 (Bosch/Northville HS). I tried to recruit him to help my team last year, but he decided to help his company instead. I was happy to beat his team in our match at Great Lakes Regional last year.

I've been trying to convince my brother, a teacher at Centerline HS, to start his own team, also.

Haha...If only they were real...real family.

My sister was too cool to join. Then she graduated. (She goes back to college tomorrow...yaaay! Computer shall be all mine! muah!)

Every member of my family has/ has had a part on the team. My brother was on the team the first year. my dad has helped with the construction ever since halfway the first year. this is my sisters second year on the team. my mom serves on our parent comittee, the Cyber Blue Parent Crew. i am now in my 5th year on the team. i serve as the teams head webmaster and a student mentor. my cat koko has even had a part on the team, she sponsored $50 last year. and this year, my uncle is now our teams programmer/ elctrician.

Well lets see...I started in 96 (my frosh year of high school....), when I was a senior, both of my brothers were on the team (one was a soph, one was a frosh)....so there were 3 of us crazy kids...

Then my friend Jen, same age as me, when she was a senior, her freshman sister was on the team...now her sister is a senior, and her freshman brother is on the team...

I think there are a few others too....

[purpledaisy]

neither of my sisters is on my team, nor have they ever been on any team. my dad is MC for ramp riot ([shameless plug] our EXCELLENT off-season competition held every fall for the past 3 years [/end shameless plug]), my mom has been chauffeur for the team a few times. they tend to stay out of it, though, as my mom is not technically minded, and my dad... well lets just say i dislike greatly the dad that invades the team and pushes legitimate members from the jobs they are doing to either do it himself or give it to his son. my dad has enough sense to realize i don't want him on the team with me. not that i don't like him, just that it would not be good for us to be in close quarters in high pressure situations, as he doesn't do the not-flip-when-stressed thing well.
ok, enough of my babbling/ranting

If my school still has a team 5 years from now, my little brother will be on it (well he had better be on it...)
