Hippo-Hat-Wearer-In-Chief although the students did their best to try to destroy it before BMR.
Head Cheerleader it got to be a bit strange when our robot was being introduced, and every pair of eyes was trained on me.

Team Identity Explainer it's hard telling people why your robotics shirts say, "HIPPOS ROCK" - I think a couple people thought it was especially mean that my wife, who is due this summer with our first, was wearing one.
