Why I joined BERT: 
I joined Bert because it runs in the family. Two brothers before me were members and one of them went in an engineering field. Plus being on the robotics team looks good on a transcript for colleges.

I was surprised at how easily a robot can break down and become useless, and how long it takes to get it going again.
What committees I have been on: 
Machining
Best memory of BERT: 
Wining the Xerox creativity award for the 2007-2008 robot.
How BERT has affected me: 
I have learned different problem solving techniques.
College plans: 
I plan to get a degree in aeronautical engineering.
What I hope to do in the future: 
I want to build planes for a living.
Favorite whatever: 
My favorite part about build season is the food on the weekends.
