And I thought that I had a fun job!

Congrats Dave!
ps. I know a handful of FIRSTers who have gone on to college to learn how not to burn down stuff. University of Maryland offers a degree in Fire Protection Engineering. http://www.enfp.umd.edu/aboutus

Well Dave, it's not everyone who has several cars on Mars. We've spoken a few times, and though I can't say I know you, our conversations were always fascinating (for me at least). Not to mention that FIRST thingie you do...

What a fight that would be if they ever got to meet!
