That would be amazing to see. I challenge everyone to try to score 558 points... even if it's not physically possible.

I take that challenge. "558 points" are now defined as points earned by doing anything related to Yale, New Haven, or the Elm City RoboSquad.

Prime examples of ways to earn "558 points":
Catching a Metro-North train headed to New Haven
Applying to Yale University
Smoking with anyone named Ernest (congrats!)
Naming your first born child Elihu
Eating white clam pizza

I applied to Yale (haven't heard back yet, though)... do I get "558 points"?
I haven't done any of the others, though.

Smurfgirl,

If you decide to attend Yale, I certainly hope you would consider taking the short jaunt down the street to help mentor the Robo Squad. We'd give you as many "558 points" as you want!!!

If I get "558 points", then I'm in!

If we're being serious, though, I'm definitely looking to help mentor any robotics teams in whatever area I end up at college. I started a community program on my team two years ago, and that program holds all my favorite memories from being on the robotics team. The looks on the kids faces when they see our robot, and when they hear the stories we tell, makes it more than worth our time. Seeing their excitement and their eyes light up as we inspire them is one of the best feelings ever. Being a good role model is a lot of fun!

Smurfgirl,

I am TOTALLY serious. I have seen your devotion to FIRST and your team through this board, and we would love to have you as a mentor with the Robo Squad should you attend Yale. I am now going to pray everynight that Yale is your chosen school!! We have a need for committed mentors, and I think you would really enjoy working with our students. Just get ready to spray your hair yellow and purple!!!

In all seriousness, if you do decide to go to Yale please let me know. We would be honored to have you as a mentor.

Yellow and purple? But I'm so used to blue and red! (-;

I'll definitely keep in contact with you guys. We'll see what happens when the rest of my decisions come in.

[Norm Plude]

It's not that bad, you should see the robot cart with the purple lights under it. The numbers look good also and just ask Denise about the purple and yellow hair paint!

[dsmoker]

Think of it this way, Smurfgirl: blue and red, when combined, make purple!!
