 I owe a debt, as many FIRSTers do, to the entire organization as a whole. Every team, every student, every person involved has help make FIRST what it is today. This is my Thank You. ~Anonymous - BandChick [more] |

For the Ruckus mentor rounds, Adrienne Emerson operated the arm, Chris Carnevale took control of the base, Boire (the lucky guy who got to pie JVN) was human player, and I was coaching. Good times all around.

Oh man.
I think that's the match where they took on both our robots. I couldn't drive X-WhAAt!!! for squat and the tetra kept getting stuck on the arm. But it wa alot of fun.
I particularly liked the Eric on a Segway vs. 229 Match.
Maybe next year Greg can bring his battlebot and we can have a 6 on 1 match. It would be interesting.

I figure he'd jump a the chance to drive again, or was he smiling for the camera again?

Mentor Matches at offseason events are a lot of fun, it really gives a chance for the mentors to see what the student drivers go through in a match and really shows why us drivers couldn't do this or that easily during a match. I hope all the mentors had a blast driving, I know they did at Capital Clash.

Actually those are all from this year, as FIRST replaces all the plexi every year. My guess is there is more scratching this year because of all the action right in front of the player stations trying to cap those goals.

It's the classic 229 stare down. Chris must not have gotten the memo, it's not our fault he's just a wee bit clueless [ just kidding Chris]. But Ader and Carne did an awesome job, considering the first time I drove with Chris he almost tore 3 lights down and came close to destroying a distillation tower.
