Thanks for getting this recording posted! I've also been told that FIRST will have their recording posted as well.

Thanks to everyone who attended this year's presentation and all the kind comments I received throughout the weekend. I've done a lot of seminars and speeches over the years, but this presentation is always my favourite solely because of the passion and engagement of the audience. Basically, it's really cool to talk about something you love with a bunch of other people who love it as well.

The 2016 season was my last as an FRC mentor, however I will be continuing as a volunteer. After so many years of thinking about FRC non-stop, I just felt it was time to take control of my life and get some well needed balance. I still love this program and all the opportunities it has afforded me, and I hope to continue to make an impact and give back to the community. And yes, I hope to continue to give this seminar at a Championship each year, as long as they fit within my professional and personal schedules.
