  I am a technical mentor for the SGP Robotics team, team 704 (Go Warriors), Basically I'm a nerd and proud of it!
I have a blog to try to help newer teams teams with LabVIEW. LabVIEW is a graphical programming language from National Instruments. It's a graphical, drag and drop programming language. I want to do what ever I can to help teams understand and use LabVIEW.

Team 704 builds Robots for the FIRST Robotics competition, FRC for short. While I want my team to do the best I want all teams to be competitive. I want to make sure the mentors helping the teams understand the priciples of robotics in order to help guide and teach the kids. But more importantly, I want to have fun and I want the kids to have fun.
