I've always pronounced it Dog-nax. Oopps...

If I was going to nationals, I would want to meet pretty much everyone who's posted more than twice in the Programming forum. (between the band trips, the 2 robotics competions, and a FIRST kickoff, I think I've used my quota!)

You and everyone else Don't worry, it happens all the time.

Look for my blue hair at Nats, and my friend Sam's even blue-er spiked hair. (And I mean actual spikes - see picture http://home.ripway.com/2004-3/81550/Sam.JPG)

Yeah I am totally in the group of people that wants to meet anybody!

I am in the pits just about all day, so I don't get to wander all that often.

I did meet Dean Kamen, Woody Flowers, and Dave Vebrugge (sp?) in 2002.

Dave Lavery is on the list.
Brandon Martus is on there too. Amanda Morrison told me about the imfamous Lil Jon "WHAT?!", "OKAY!", and "YEAH!". So, naturally, that made me want to meet him.
JVN is on the list as well. I want to know why I am compelled to claim I am JVN. lol

Last, but certainly not least, EVERYBODY ELSE!!

I have to track one of you down, if not for anything else but to give you the picture that one of the girls from my team took while playing ring toss at closing ceremonies last year with Sam's hair. The picture who's flash you could see in that ring toss video I have of the game, which I think I got from your team's website after Nats last year.

I have been privileged to meet most of the “biggies” already. There are a few however that I would like to spend more time with. Raul, Dave Flowerday and Al of Wildstang come to mind immediately, though figuring out how the Rumba worked in Houston last year was pretty fun. Paul Copioli is another person I have met briefly but haven’t had a chance to get to know.

Others I’d like to meet are:

Matt Adams
Ed Sparks
Amanda Morisson
Greg Perkins
Elgin Clock
Miss Information (no cameras please)

But most importantly at least at this Championship

Anne Bergeron (It never hurts to have a Native Guide!)

I thought for sure everyone would be afraid to meet me... Sadly, I will not be at Nationals, our team is not going. I did seriously consider going down there to volunteer, but I'm hoarding my vacation hours for a trip to Alaska this summer. I'm sure sooner or later we will cross paths... but a warning... my camera is always with me...

He's nothing special anyways... Nah Ricky is a good guy...a bit goofy, but a good guy. (How bad could someone that supports a baseball team that hasn't had a winning season since the early 90s be a bad guy )

anyway

Im not sure if i should be honored or scared that people want to meet me :-p...but anyone that knows me knows that I like meeting people, so if you see me walking through the pits, the stands or in 45s pit, stop me and introduce yourself...ill be walking around looking for people as well.

People I really want to meet:

People who have started teams with a college while in college.

People who have in depth knowledge of how the teams work with college

Anyone who takes college classes and does FIRST at the same time.

Then people I generally respect what they say:

both Ken's - leung and wittlief
dave lavery
andy baker
joe ross

here is a start I gave up. But I liked jess's previous posted names. They sound good.

Yeah Matt had already invited me. I've been talking with the Engineering Dean trying to check out there interest in helping with the program. I'm very interested in Purdue's program since the Boilermakers are kind of a sister school to K-State. That would be great. Thanks.

LoL no problem about that backing into us thing.. Tho my neck is still a bit sore :: cracks it :: j/p of course :-)

Man There are sooo many people I want to meet. But of course all the hard core FIRSTERS top my list. Too many to list, but many of the sames as above. Like Fluck, Neun, Baker, Lavery, Johnson, Leung, Wong, Big Mike ( even tho I heard he isn't actually all that big ) Erin R, Katie R, Ken W, the list goes on and on ( that is not nearly all it just a small sample )

So stop by the 710 booth everyone and give me and Ryan a howdy hello, or how do you do. Or if you see me walking around and recognize me, I always get a kick out of it when someone shouts out " Stud Man Dan " ( Its the small things in life that amuse me )
