Thanks to Andy for stopping and letting us take this picture

Who can you get to do “The Joe Matt Pose”

[Dan_Richardson]

LOL Andy Baker doesn’t do the Joe Matt pose he let the Andy Baker pose be named after Joe Matt. Why? Well if we knew the answer to this question many speculate we’d know more about Life, the Universe and Everything.

Good, God. Is that an omniwheel necklace??

Please note the black eyeliner as well.

My personal favorite for Team 45 was the black shirt and colored tie look. That was so cool.

Andy, I’m going to be using this pic along with Princess Sparkle Wayne in my FIRST presentation in about, oh, an hour and a half from now. Thank me later.

Yes… the pattern went like this:

#10-32 nylock nut - omni wheel roller - #10-32 nylock nut - mecanum wheel roller tube - repeat

This necklace will be auctioned off at the 07 IRI.

Arm operator Nick Bailey and mentor Luke Ward developed our “Back in Black” team image this year. It was the most fun our team had in 10 years. I encourage any FIRST team to adopt a crazy/fun image… it makes FIRST more enjoyable. The whole team gets into it.

Thanks Joe use it as you wish, I suppose. My wife may be using it this summer to scare away deer from her garden.

Also, it was cool to meet your dad in Atlanta, although briefly.

Rock on,
Andy

Andy, sorry I couldn’t chat with you a bit more in our brief meeting in Atlanta at Championships. The pleasure meeting you was mine. My son, Joseph, often talks about you and other FIRST mentors. You are a wonderful role model for my son and the rest of the FIRST community. Thank you!

My volunteer role at Championships consumed just about all my time at the event. I am going to attempt to arrive on Wednesday next year so that I can spend time on Thursday visiting with you, the other wonderful mentors and especially the students.

Back in Black is the theme 294 talked about for our protoype '08 base and possible '08 season… Our main sponsor only anodizes black so we were going to get it totally black. Not sure if we can do it anymore. Would you guys mind?

Also, I think there needs to be an AM shirt with this picture on it.

No, not minding at all. This sounds neat. Of course, you’re gonna have to make a black surfboard for mounting your operator controls.

Andy’s definitely doing the Ian Mackenzie, not the Joe Matt.
