Ok.

I edited above but just in case...

1st Round: Mentors

Please pick an adult mentor/engineer/parent from any team.
Please specify team number and team role.

A person may only be drafted once, no matter what.

For example, If i draft Bob Saget under NEM, Cormier cannot draft Bob Saget under Mechanical.

[Alex Cormier]

are we allowed to draft ourselves?

how about 4th round is sponsors?

[Koko Ed]

It's 8:30! My turn! My Turn!
I want Engineer Kit Gerhart from team 233 Pink.
That robot is bound to attract some technical award for sure!

[Goober!!!]

Its a bit after my turn but i would like to pick a guy from my team and a great guy Jerry Smyth and he does Mechanical!!!

[Jeff K.]

woo my turn
I'm gonna go with Paul Copioli from Thunderchickens.

[Ericgehrken]

In this round of the FF Person Draft I would like to select Lance Florian a mechanical mentor on team 195 who graciously allowed team 195 to utilize his shop for machining and also gave us a space in his building for a practice room. Without his help we would not be able to build a robot of this quality and innovation.

Its 10:21 my turn. Hmm hard choice. I have had many great mentors whom inspire me daily. But one in particular sticks out in my mind. Chris Carnevale has been one of the best mentors I have ever had, and so I would like to graciously invite him to my alliance. Sorry JVN but carn had this coming. You were my coach and I am honored to have you on my alliance.

ITs well past 9:10 so I'm going to pick.....Doug Leppard, programming mentor from 1902

[Tom Bottiglieri]

I'm gonna take Karthik from 1114, NEM

I'll keep updates there.

[Jay Trzaskos]

This is a tough choice, do I take JVN, whos really got me intereseted in FIRST, and introduced me to all these people you are listing off. Or do I take Andy Baker, one of the most inspirational people I have ever met. Or maybe I'll chose Ken Patton, quite possibly the greatest guy I have ever met, and a huge inspiration to me. Then again, there's Dave Ferriera, he's a RhodeWarrior, what can I say?

after re-reading how this is being scored, I am going to take Dave Ferriera, of the legendary team 121

[James1902]

I just got on the computer so I hope I can still pick...Wendy Austin team 1902,NEM

[Conor Ryan]

I'll take 177's Mr. Mo an EM mentor I believe.

[Noah Kleinberg]

I'll take Mr. Beatty, as mechanical (right?) from 71

[Travis Hoffman]

Edit: I've amended my pick to choose a "dark horse" candidate.

I'd like Ian Mackenzie from 1114 for Mechanical, because he's the one behind the scenes who makes Karthik look good.

Do I get bonus points for every event he refs at?

[DanDon]

Sorry Travis, Noah beat you by about a minute.
