Go Lightning Robotics team #862!

Of course, my former team member has graduated from college now, but we've still got sweet memories of the competitions and his trip to Atlanta for the International Finals. Good grief, that was 6 years ago?!

Go Flying Platypi FIRST Team 2655. Having been a FIRST mentor since 2008 and a volunteer adult leader of various organizations for almost 50 years I can say that this organiztion is something that every student should get involved with. Thank you Wes for the excellent write up and kind words. For any student thinking about engineering school this is a must and if they have an opportunity to join a good well rounded team it's not just about robots.
