Dean Kamen = a rock star

[Bemis]

We (Cody C and I) ran into Woody and wanted him to sign our robot, as that was what we were getting all of our allied drive teams to do and as many other people as we could get. Well, anyways, that didn't work, because the robot was on its way to a match, where cody and I were supposed to be going. Woody was going to try to come with us to catch them, but he had to go somewhere, so we settled for having him sign our pant legs. Too bad my shirt and sharpie were both black.

Nevertheless, Andy Baker signed our robot, and as we know from this thread, http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ght=andy+baker, Andy Baker trumps all.

My name is hiding somewhere on the 306 machine too. Anyways, this morning on the Marta, we walked onto the car and we see this guy with white hair in a pony tail at the front. It was Dr. Flowers. I got a picture with him, but I was grinning like an idiot, so it didn't come out so well.

On Friday I chased (while walking) someone through the pits who I thought was Grady, but it wasn't. Then I got meet Andy Baker, and Grady, and I saw Andy Brockway. Is that like an Andy Triple Play or something??

I never got to meet Dave Lavery, but I did see him flying around on a Segway during the eeerrrrr.... interesting drive team meeting.

Yeah, I actually saw him zip by on his Segway in the pits while I was napping/scouting.

Meeting Dean Kamen was amazing...I was with Tracey (Ebolagirl) and we were so excited to finally meet him. Luckily we ran into him again in the pits when I actually had my "I heart Dean Kamen" shirt with me! His face was awesome when he saw it...I have a picture and I'll try to post it soon. Those moments were some of the best in Atlanta!

My best friend on our team has a story he has told everyone many times. He went to the bathroom and ended up, umm, "standing" next to Woz. He didn't know how to talk to him without sounding horrfically awkward, but now he brags he peed next to the inventor of the personal computer. Makes me laugh at least.

It's a personal favorite story of mine now Shaver, I tell it to lots of people!

I meet Dean and Woodie a few years back, but I'm more honored to meet all the hard working mentors and students out there I read about on CD!
