Congratulations to Dave Lavery for winning the 2007 Engelberger Robotics Award for Leadership, presented at the 38th International Symposium on Robotics on June 13!
Congratulations DL. A well deserved award for one of the brightest, smartest, friendliest person in FIRST.
Oh man, I thought he was just some crazy guy that somehow got Dean’s home phone number 
Congrats, Dave. We are all thrilled that you continue to dedicate your talents and time (which you obviously don’t have to give in the first place) to all of us. Namaste.
Congratulations Dave.
Congrats Dave!
That’s Pimp! … or something like that … :o
Congrats!
Couldn’t have gone to a better guy. Congrats!!
Congratulations Dave! Everyone should read the article and see the history behind the guy you all know. I predict that we may one day be using a term named the Lavery for a robotics related standard. (i.e. 1 Lavery= 3 mi sq or the standard area explored by a robot in a solar day.)
Congratulations Dave.
Congratulations Dave! Well deserved!
Gratz Dave. So when are you going to Mars to ride one of your rovers around?
Congratulations Dave! Job well done, despite taking all our jibes and arrows on CD.
Congratz Dave. After all the time you spend on us you deserve it.
Congrats Dave. Now I can say, “I saw a the Award Winning Dave Lavery biff on his Segway.” Couldn’t have gone to a better or more deserving guy.
Thank you all for the kind comments, they are most appreciated. To be grouped with folks like Red Whittaker, George Bekey, Brian Carlisle, and Vic Scheinman is a very humbling experience. I have known Joe Engelberger for many years, but to actually receive the award named for him is a very great honor, and a wonderful surprise.
