[Tom Bottiglieri]

(Me + Controls)² + Other Robots = Many Needed Repairs

[Alex Cormier]

me + robot conrols = craziness
real drivers + controls = nice win
67 + 340 + 1126= buckeye and newton champs
webster thomas high + webster schroder high = FIRST unity, the two huge rivals in everything
6" step + omni wheels = easy at times
6" step + robot there = repairs in pits
pit crew chief + enjoys to see every match in person = loss of weight, woo hoo haha
xerox mentor + 5 laptops in one car = lots of stuff to talk about at the pit stop

35 students + 13 mentors + 2 kits of parts + 6 weeks = one awesome robot

* (CD.com) + (April Fool's Day) = (Confused People) + (NFL ownership of FIRST)

* (Amount of aluminum needed during the season) = (Initial amount of aluminum) x [1 + (Weekly percent growth of aluminum purchase)]^[(Days since kickoff)/7]

* 20(Random people from different teams) + (Omni at nats) + 1(Hot tub filled with water) = Overflow + 20(Squished) + 1[Hot tub - 0.5(water)]

red+orange+yellow+blue+pink+green (or just plain old tie-dyed)=bright colors!

WildStang all year round= Alot of work!
