Hi... I'm Jeremy Nadke... and I'm a FIRST-a-holic...

This was my first year on the team (and unfortunately) the last. Last year my buddy was on it for 1 year (like me) and he told me about it, so I joined this year. I will be a Freshman at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and intend to major in Electrical Engineering. This year I was in charge of programming... but I did help out in many electrical aspects since programming didn't take very long.

Hey everyone! I'm Max Gutman, a proud member of team 810, the Smithtown High School Mechanical Bulls. I am going into my junior year of high school, and my second year on the FIRST team. Last year I did random small jobs for the team, but I hope to be more active this year, especially since I was just elected team secretary. Aside from robotics, I also enjoy listening to music, surfing the web, going on AIM, and long walks on the beach. I also play a little bit of guitar, bass guitar, and piano and am a black belt in jiu-jitsu. I used to play golf, and am hoping to get back into it.

If you feel like talking to me, IM me at GotGuts610 or email me at GotGuts610@aol.com

Hello everyone! I'm one of the sponsors with Team 547 - Lincoln County TN and can't wait for things to get started. This will be my second year participating with a FIRST team. I had an absolute blast and am looking forward for the year to get moving. Our team is growing by leaps and bounds...and I hope we continue to be an outgoing/friendly group. I wish everyone the best of luck this year...

Junior at Timberlane Regional HS in Plaistow NH.
Captain on Team 350 Timberlane Tantrum
3rd year doing FIRST, well kinda. For the 2002 season we didnt have a sponsor, so we modified our 2001 robot and are competing in some post season comps (namely river rage). So many of you may not have heard of us.
FIRST makes up about 1/3rd of my life, as I am the only true FIRST- a-holic on my team (that and the only veteran).
Another 1/3rd of my life is music. I have been playing trombone for about 7 years now (since 4th grade). I play in the school's marching band (im equipment manager this year), both jazz bands, wind enesmble, and dixieland band.
The last 1/3rd is the tech crew. I do most all of the lighting for the school for plays musicals etc.

My teams website is http://trhsrobotisteam.tripod.com.
My IM screen name is FOLEYMAN327, IM me if you want to talk.

[Courtneyteam330]

Hi i'm Courtney from team 330 (like u couldn't figure that out). I am a freshie so it is my first year on the team. I have a brother who was on the team and everybody knows but i don't think he will let me reveal his identity. I like (well actually am obsessed about) The Lord of the Rings, TobyMac, Superchic[k],and Relient K. I live in Redondo Beach, CA. It was like 80 degrees today and it is November. I am the new web master 4 the team so pLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE visit the new site when it is up. It will probably be beachbot.tripod.com. (our old site is there but probably in jan. 03 it will be the new 1) There is nothing else interesting about me. (Except if u know who TobyMac is, cause i am on his DVD/music video thingy! {check out tobymac.com}) So I hope 2 c u all @ the competions! Team 330 is signed up 4 the Arizona regional and th LA regional! (which we have won the past 2 years)

[Melissa H.]

Hi, I'm Melissa from team 1037 (<-- HINT: Rookie Team ) Um...This is my first year in robotics...mainly b/c our school is new and all. I'm a sophomore and I'm on 3 sub-teams: Programming, Design, and Web Design. (Still learning all this PBasic stuff...already know the in and outs of HTML, JAVA, and stuff) Besides Robotics, I'm a bando... can't get any weirder... (I play the flute in Marching Band...although our band doesn't compare to RHS, Bassoon in Symphony, and Piano.) Until build season starts, I'll also be training in Shotokan. (Martial Arts from Japan) I'm not online much...mainly due to all of the classes I take which give considerable amounts of homework...but feel free to IM on AIM:
