In Memory of Dr. Bart Kamen

[Justin Montois]

We will talk about this on the show on Tuesday but I just wanted to say that all 400 robots should be displaying this sticker. Bart Kamen was our Championship Chairman's Award Judge for at least 3 years at Champs and our students always said that Bart always gave them positive feedback and he really enjoyed hearing about their accomplishments.

Please stop by the pit of 1923 and pick one up. Thanks!

I won't be there until Thursday night! I hope there will still be some left for me to have one, too!

My senior in 2011 when we went to the Washington DC Regional, our team won the Chairman's award, and I remember when it came time to present at the Championships... Dr. Bart was one of our three interviewers, and I've never been so scared in my life; it was a wonderful, and amazing experience to have met, and interacted with him... I feel extremely fortunate.

These turned out fantastic!

Dr. Kamen was an inspiration to Team 1114. Our interactions with him through the Chairman's judging process over the years were nothing short of amazing. We would be truly honoured to display these stickers on our robot.

For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. Kamen, here's a moving tribute video that was made for him by the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.

We will likely be pit-neighbors with 1923 and we'd love to have a Bart Kamen sticker for our robot.

It's a great tribute!
