Family members

[KaeleyAnne]

My sister was a senior on the team the first year our school had a team ('96), and I'm a senior on the team now and my dad is one of the engineers on the team - he joined when I joined in my freshman year.

My first year of high school robotics (freshman year) i was on the same team as my sister even on the same crew (build). She was a senior so this year will be my first year of high school robotics with out a sibling but it will also be my last. Next year my brother will be on the team so once again i will be with a sibling. Only one year with out a family member on robotics with me. it is kind of weird but i think robotics brings sisters and brothers closer. well at least it did bring my sister and i closer.

On 226 we had two families- 1) mom and dad were engineers and both kids were on build and 2) dad helped with chairmans stuff, mom did management stuff, and daughter was president of the club. This year, one of last years senior is going back as a mentor and his sister is a sophomore, and he has two siblings in 8th grade hes trying to get to join next year. And on 1313 we have two brothers. I feel like I'm forgetting some too.

While my brother and I may never be on the same team, we're still working together: Andrew is a freshman in high school, a new member of team 71, mentoring his own Lego League team (before he's ever witnessed his first FIRST season) and is building a mini-segway out of spare parts.

I'm glad I'm involved in this, if only to have introduced him to something this great.

my brother might be on the team in 2 years... only if he doesnt change his mind...............
