Re: pic: IFI in the Lead?
How come your car wasn't numbered 229?

Re: pic: IFI in the Lead?
C'mon. Please stop making us so envious of your job. I mean, you get to play with robot parts all day, you have a rapid prototyping machine in your office AND you get to race go karts. Man you have it good.

Re: pic: IFI in the Lead?
Wonder why I want to be John V Neun V2?
... just so I can play with robot parts all day and then race go carts... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. ::goes infront of the mirror and checks if I still have all my hair:: ::refrains from all jokes:: I respect John a lot. He is a very good friend as well as a very good mentor. Last edited by Arefin Bari : 23-06-2005 at 23:45. |

Re: pic: IFI in the Lead?
If I was anywhere near where all this fun takes place and I could get in on some of the action, I could blow you all away.
Has anyone driven those big F1 style gokarts that have real suspension and hydraulic brakes and a big Briggs (16HP?) V twin engine? Those things are sweet! They make you have a real license to drive them. Has anyone driven on a polished sealed concrete track where they powder it. Oh man, slipping and sliding everywhere. Lots of fun. |

I actually spend very little time on robot parts, that is only a small part of our business. I spend most of my time designing stuff like this, and this. It is lots of fun, and very challenging. (Okay, okay... I DO get to play with robots every now and then.) Quote:
In the last race of the weekend, I got in a pretty nasty wreck. (It wasn't my fault, I swear!) I ended up rolling the car, smashing into the hay, and getting nailed by another car. Luckily, no one got seriously hurt... but I got a little beat up in the crash. IFI's newest intern, Chris Carnevale also had a good wreck. He was in the final race of the lightweight class, passing the leaders when someone he was lapping took him out. He got beat up a lot worse than me, but is also okay. Chris definitely took the advice jokingly issued from our boss to heart: "Win or lose... I'd be racing like your job depends on it." We had a lot of fun, and learned enough that next year the IFI team (we are going to race multiple cars) should have a good showing. Never a dull moment, John |
