OMG! how could i forget

Dave lavery
Brandon Martus
Fluck

Im sorry, i ment to remember

[Matt Adams]

One important thing to remember about many of these "all-stars" is that they're honestly just regular folk like you and I, but are especially dedicated and passionate about this program. I know that when I was in high school, I basically learned almost all of my technical skills from this these forums.

I'd suggest for those of you that happen to meet these people, please take the time to just thank them for their contributions on the forums, technical or otherwise. I think FIRST is filled with people who are deeply underappreciated, and knowing that you've helped someone out or taught them something is very rewarding.

Just my two cents,

Matt

So many people, so little time. I'm gonna be volunteering @ Nats, hopefully I'll make it to the web hug to meet some of you 'big names' (John V-Nuen, Andy Baker, Ken Leung, etc...[no, not Big Mike, i've seen enough of you ]i'm gonna get it @ PARC, if not Atlanta ...). Hmm... anyone else volunteering? I could meet you @ the dinner.

You mean all the money I've spent building the Shrine of the three Gods of Lavery, Baker, and Brandon is a complete waste?!? Duuuuuuude, I even spent hours praying in front of it day and night hoping they will grant me good fortune, health for my family and relatives, and world peace.

What a rip off. I guess the construction of the three marble statue of Lavery, Baker, and Brandon will have to be canceled now. I even had it all worked out: Lavery's statue show him looking up pointing at Mars, Baker's statue show him with his family, and Brandon's statue show him sitting in front of his computer.

And here I thought the Lavery statue would be at the counter ordering Krispy Kreames.

Sorry, sorry, sorry! Hey, I recognized you last year! I just didn't get to spend that much time with you.

But yes. Third time is a charm. So, next year? Or you could always come to IRI ...

Hey, being new to first on a rookie team i want to meet as many people as possibe I think thats one of the good things about FIRST is the people. So meeting some of the influence people in first at the nationals would be awesome. Now i would like to take this oppertunity to tell a funny story from regionals at UCF and also apologize. Ok we took vans up there to Orlando and one moring during the competitions we were pulling into a parking spot and we backed in to a couple people from team#710. everything was ok and alright but it was funny and i saw this post from there driver so i thought i take this chance to apoligize for backing in to his teamates car. On behalf of the TECH TIGERS 1251 we are sorry for that. LOL good luck at nationals hope to meet you guys over there at team710 we are from Ft.lauderdale to so hometown homies lol. Anyway we apoligize.

Joe,
I would love to meet as many of you as possible and Dave Flowerday and I probably will as we are likely inspecting at Nationals. If I am inspecting please say Hi.

[Ryan Dognaux]

I always say I want to meet people, but I'm usually the combination of me Scouting and being horrible w/ faces doesn't make for recognizing people too well.

That Chief Delphi name tag thing is a pretty cool idea, I might do that.

With that said, I'd like to meet Dave Lavery - he seems like a really cool person, and he always puts together the animation for kickoff, so he at least knows where us Animators are coming from

Edit: Koko Ed too
