Sam,

You and the rest of the NERDS should be getting some info by the end of the weekend.

To everyone out there...I appologize for not answering any of the 416546313 PM's I recieved asking for shirts. As it is right now, most of the people who are asking for one are NOT New Englanders. Those who are New Englanders who asked me...well...we will see

Talking Re: NERDS Delay...

One of the best things about FIRST is meeting teams from around the country. First of all, if its based solely on geographic region, then you wouldn't meet as many teams from, well in my case the midwest and west coast. You would remeet the teams you meet at your regionals.

Second, what about the teams from England, Brazil etc. So were going to have a section with soley the two England teams?

I don't think you are seeing the forest for the trees my friend. NERD is not about demeaning or isolating from other regions that involve FIRST. What NERD does, is bring a new kind of spirit to the oldest region in FIRST. New England has always been a very competitive region within itself. Anyone who has seen the rivalries form around here realizes that unity among our region is no small feat. NERD provides an outlet for this unity to thrive. NERD provides excitement and a sense of pride for what is a wonderful part of our country when it comes to the FIRST Competition. Together the NERDS will bring spirit, unity, and passion to a new level...which I would hope in the future could set an example for other regions in the country to come together with pride.

This isn't about rivalry...its about revolution...

Every student, every mentor, every person who dawns the black and white NERD shirt stands for something very special (and even if you don't have a shirt, you can be a NERD in the truest sense)...I think you will realize exactly what that special something is when you look into the eyes of a NERD...I know I saw it many times last week at Winter Warzone.

Good luck,
Andy Grady

And I saw it yesterday at the NERVE scrimmage at WPI... where there were three n.e.r.d.s proudly wearing our shirts and explaining what n.e.r.d. stood for.

Re: NERDS Delay...

I've been seeing all the hype surrounding NERDs on the forums and since the site still isn't up and running yet Ive been wondering some things as I'm sure many others have. What qualifies one to be considered a true NERD and will new NERDs be crowned at the NYC regional(we're sort of new England being how York is in England and our state is called the New one) plus we are also going to have FIRST's first old England team at our regional as well, i think that warrants our NERDdom.

I just can't believe that in such an organization as FIRST, we need to introduce any more nerds...
