Wink Re: What truely is a NERD?

Hey nerds are going to get somewhere in life. Just because you have a passion about robotics and engineering does not really mean you are a nerd.Technically people just call us nerds because they dont understand what we are doing and it seems too hard for them to do, but really they just haven't tried.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Re: What truely is a NERD?

my friends think of me when they hear nerd because I always carry a C programming refrence book, a laptop, and a flash drive(which I decorated with a charm and wear it as a necklace, very stylish for me anyhow). 'm always researching on my laptop and perfecting the program for the robot as much as a I can and research how other teams are doing and between social life and FIRST. How do I still have a social life anyhow? lol oh well

Re: What truely is a NERD?

1. A foolish, inept, or unattractive person.
2. A person who is single-minded or accomplished in scientific or technical pursuits but is felt to be socially inept. ---that is what dictionary.com said...
