 If everyone could just worry about how much fun they are having rather than how much they disagree with other teams, the program would be much better off. - Tom Bottiglieri [more] |

Hi everyone! I'm Ann-Marie, a strategy member from 783.. for those that were at the Canadian regional, I was the girl with the cookies asking about your bot
 . Let's see, on the team I do what I can, usually with strategy and scouting, I tend to be the one breaking up the team fights. Umm...this'll be my second year in FIRST, I can't wait! Let's see, I used to do drama a lot, but I've finally had it with the drama head, so more mobotics for me! Umm... I work in a tiny lil ice cream booth for $6.40/h (CDN) I enjoy reading, computer stuff(I work on Cinema 4DXL stuff occaisonally and am in the process of re-concepting and designing my entire website) I go out with my friends a LOT.. in fact, I say between my friends, my boss, school and robotics, I have no control over what I do.. other people run my life! ;P .. Oh I've also gotten into writing again(it's one of my big passions) and I'm writing for an online RPG some of my friends got me into called <a href="http://www26.brinkster.com/warlock1/"> Warlock</a> I post as "Ainenox Cerridwen" so go check out the profile I wrote or some of the posts I've done in "Laguadia" ... it sounds weird but it's a lot of fun and gives me a chance to work on my writing and such. Yes, I am big on the RPGs.. I'm an AD&D chick and you can't change that no matter how much you bash the game. Is that enough for everyone? Oh I also have an amazing bf.. who isn't in robotics *sigh* My icq is # 162691028 Drop me a line or something if you want to chat, just tell me you're from here, I have no patience for random ppl that msg me. oh Weedie, Ich spreche Deutsch auch. Meine Deutsch is nicht so gut. That's what two years of HS German gets ya... well, *hugz to all as alwayz* Ann-Marie -team 783

I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees. Seriously, I'm Heidi Foster, and I'm absolutely bored right now because I'm waiting for a conference call to come through and I can't leave my desk. I'm the adult (though I've been told by several students that I'm no adult) who is suppose to supervise the student(s) in charge of information on team 116, but no one's ever really told me what I'm suppose to do, so I just occasionally ask "Ya' doin' what ya' s'pose be doin'?". I do take a lot of pictures for the team, and I guess (eww, I just noticed there's a big hairy spider on my window, luckily outside, but he's casting very big shadows on my desk) you could say I've appointed myself to the role of poking fun at Dave Lavery (sorry Dave, it's just fun to do) and reminding Eric (engineer) of what he has to do because his memory is quite faulty. And I have a whole other life besides that where I do things like read, and write, and dance, and laugh, and all kinds of fun things with my imaginary, I mean, very real friends. Yep, the friends are real, the cats are imaginary.
MissInformation <==========> Sometime's I'm amazed by what I see looking outside my window, but the phone's ringing, so I can't tell you what I just saw...

Well I think my signature says that most about me...I'm Kristina from HartBurn 691. My dad's an engineer but I have no plans whatsoever or persuing that field. I was recruited to the team for the sole purpose of super management. I head up the team that's in charge of doing all the paperwork, spirit, ordering parts, making travel arrangements, fundraising, scouting, and sponsor relations. I also make sure that our advisor knows what's going on since he usually doesn't and that the boys on the team take care of themselves (like remind them to eat).
Outside of robotics I am a UCLA bound student (yes, still one more month of summer) studying poli sci so I can go to law school. Did 4-H, piano, student government, etc and now that that's all done with i'm just bored. Always on IM, screen name is: doanie8.

as my name says, i have the worst sense of humor on my team! My name is Greg Perkins, and i am now(thank god) a seinor at Nashua Seinor High School North, in Nashua NH. I was a techie last year on our team, now i am a wiring freak! i helped wire our robot in one day before our public unveiling, and it worked like a dream. i usually spend numerous hours in my basement constructing mini-battlebots, although none have competed yyet.
i am going to pursue mech-engineering at Northeastern, WPI, Clarkson, RPI, or RIT. although my sat's are crappy, i might have a chance. talk some time. AIM- oppsie26 gregsacc@juno.com Badjokeguy

I am Jon. This'll be my second year in the FIRST, and I'm gonna be the lead programmer for team 186. I like to do things. I like to go places. I never do things. I never go places. I need money. I'm a geek, but not the dorky kind, as far as you're conserned. I don't like mean people, or people who aren't open-minded. I'm so cliche, but I'm really not cliche at all. Awesome. Gosh that was horrible. MOO.
For a good time: AIM: Sealab 2021 Yahoo!: hummeralien tigerbolt: jon186

HEH HEH, for those of you who don't know me I'm Carolyn. I have a variety of nicknames, those who know me know what I mean
 I'm not really a college student but I bounce from team to team helping to get everything going well. Hopefully this year will be tha match for me on a team. I'm not exactly the person who says this will happen because of X and Y and then show the proof with a billion numbers. I am more of a strategy and "what if" type of person. Sometimes I can even put a team in a position to dominate but they don't quite see it. Mostly I have had a bit of experience in observations and reporting-- a one day science major (I hope) For the most part I'm around all the time if you know where to find me if not ask around I'm sure if you need me you can find a way to get a hold of me for advice or whateverLaters y'all!

Lets see...My name is Katelyn Elizabeth Fix, and I am on team 269. I live in Oconomowoc, WI. That is right, I am sure all of you now know how to say that name...LOL. Anyways...I work at a Jewish Camp. It is a place where Jewish people come and have retreats. I work in the kitchen preparing food. It is not the best job, but it lets me off for sports, and robotics. By the way I play volleyball...I am a setter, and an outside hitter, and i am also captain this year. For robotics this past year i mostly worked on mechanical elements. One thing that i spent a lot of time doing was trying to make the perfect basket for our robot. That was definately hell. I was basically helping out this other girl from my team. She had all these ideas, and i helped her make all these different designs. They were all good ideas, but none of them worked on our robot. Oh well...we had fun making them. We even made up a song, but that is another story...LOL. This was my first year actually being on the robotics team. My older brother was on the team for 3 years before me, so i have been exposed to FIRST for a while now. This coming year I am gonna be a senior...yeah. I am excited about that. After high school...I am sorry to say I am not going to school to become an engineer. I am going to school to become a genetic therapist...or something having to do with genetics. I guess I am proof that you don't have to be interested in an engineering field to be in FIRST. It is all about science and math skills, and I definately used my math skills with trying to figure out all of the gear ratios. That was so much fun...
. If you ever want to chat just IM me.....Yahoo IM...cat2421 Katelyn

<----- Ok Hi my name is Todd Derbyshire from TJ^2, Team 88.(Look to the left and you would have already have known that). This fall I'm going to be a freshman at the University of New Hampshire trying to find a direction to go to. (A.K.A I'm undecided) For the years I was on TJ^2 I was a driver, human player, and strategist. Outside of FIRST I played football for a year and track indoor and outdoor. Also outside of school I played the card game Magic the gathering professionally. Off and on I will travel to PTQ for Pro Tours in Japan and Australia. Other than that I hang out with my friends alot. I always take time for stupid acts of nonsense ask anyone on 88. LOL if any girls in the NH area are looking for a guy my AIM is BigBrothaDerby and my email is about to change so I don't know what it will be yet. Well hopefully next year I will get the time off to rejoin the robotics gang and take home the Nats trophy.
P.S. UNH Hockey or FIRST (This is going to be a diliema)

Phillips, Mike Phillips. I am a junior at Hammond High School. I am also turning 17 September 23rd!! Anywayz, next year will be my second year with F.I.R.S.T. I am currently web designer and one of the pit slaves (mechanic, electrician, etc.) for Team 71, Team Hammond Robotics. I might be a driver and animation designer also because both of our drivers graduated and one of them was also the animation designer. When I am not involved with robotics in some way, I surf the net, design web pages (for practice), fail miserably at playing the guitar, do some computer tech support for people, and do some flatland and freestyle BMX. I also loooooooooove to listen to music. I also play golf because it's basically the only sport I am moderately good at. I only know a handfull of people from other robotics teams and I like to talk to new people and make new friends, so if you ever wanna chat just IM me on Aol Instant Messenger (MikeIsOnFYRE). I also have MSN Messenger, but I don't want to post my e-mail so just e-mail me through my profile on here or ask for it on AIM. I am usually online, so feel free.
