Good thing he had a kind and caring hard rocker for a mentor!

Our drive team had the idea to dress up as rock and roll characters. David Abney, the (part time) drive team coach dressed up as "Bruce Springsteel". We were thinking of what Kyle should dress up as, since he was the driver (and student leader). I recommended Angus Young.

And, with regard to the Goats... it looks like someone waxed Randy's head. Way to go!

That's one of the most inspirational stories on FIRST!

Changing the culture to one where youngsters actually appreciate classic rock is one of the noblest goals a FIRST mentor should aspire to achieve.

Gracious Professionalism, Stones, Woodie Flowers, The Who, Dean Kamen, AC/DC, CCR, Cream, etc., all are terms students must learn (and hey, if you don't like the Beatles, I ain't mentoring you ) from their FIRST experience - the engineering skills can be left to be developed in college, and they will, if you teach them to listen to the real stuff.

PS - Kyle is lucky he's not on 383. Although asking "who is Angus Young?" would probably not get him kicked out of the team, he'd never ever be a driver, and that's the only serious part of my post - the driver interview from a couple of years ago did include a question about AC/DC

Adults aren't supposed to work hard, that's what the kids are for!
