Billfred (2815)
This was me at the 2012 FIRST Championship (on the right alongside Mark McLeod), as photographed by Jane Young.
The #WinAnyway signs were something we made after our improbable backup-robot win at Palmetto. It's a phrase borrowed from the back-to-back national champion baseball team of our lead sponsor, the University of South Carolina, whose story in some respects parallels ours. The story is best told here. The key quote:
Quote:
|
South Carolina didn't win their second consecutive national championship on Tuesday night because they were the most talented team in the country. They won because they refused to lose. They won because they rejected any and all excuses. They won because they believed in the concept of team, and the old-school mantra of fighting for a championship. In doing so, they have provided each of us with a battle cry worth rallying around. "Win anyway." |

not a bad shot, especially for what she had to work with. this might be a good caption contest one as well (unless ur afraid someone will come up with a good burn).

But I'm not a total meanie--as Katie Widen demonstrated, I go easy on people undergoing medical procedures.
