Bus accident?

[Rion Atkinson]

NOTE: This entire post is all in my own opinion, not that of my teams. (Though some may agree.)

My prayers are extended to team 3125. May God watch over you in this time of need.

I'm currently sitting in my room trying to think of things that we as FIRST could do for this team, and all teams that lose family members. I'm not saying true family. I mean those that are on the team. The students, the mentors, the parents, the actual families. We can all sit around saying "We will be praying for you." As much as our prayers help, and much as the consulship of the the Lord really truly helps people. We are just people that this team may never see. We are nothing more than a name to a picture. Is there anyway that we can do more?

Can we get each and ever individual competitions to hold a moment of silence for those teams that lose someone during the build season? To give all the teams stickers to put on their robots to remind them what can really happen, to remind them how lucky they are? There must be something we can do, and someway to get it done.

PS. Does anyone know the address to the team? Or even the address to Vikas Parikh's family? I would like to send them a letter.
