UFH: Ian Mackenzie

[jonathan lall]

My first year in FIRST saw Ian coming to meetings almost as frequently as I, to contribute to our robot's function and showing up halfway through the build season with two ridiculously complex gearboxes he'd built in the background, with six motors each. What?!

For those of you who don't know Ian, he lives FIRST. Not only has it totally shaped his career path and education, but he even has his parents into it. He's known to throw parties for others in the FIRST family. The amount of work Ian has put into 188's development (and don't forget 1114's monstrosity last year, for which Ian is largely responsible) is nothing short of staggering. He's a major factor behind 188's and 1114's success in Canada.

Ian so deserves this. Congratulations.
