Needed: #PDX area front-end #developer willing to #volunteer time to teach and mentor a high school FIRST Robotics program.

The Tactics & Strategy wing of the Skyview Robotics program has been working on a data collection and reporting tool and could use some professional guidance. The mentor "stack" currently includes Product, UX Design, Data Analysis, and Dev Ops, but nobody to teach front-end coding.

The crew meets Tuesday and *possibly* Thursday nights starting in the fall. We may be able to flex that for you though. Reach out for more info. Thanks!

The old robotics team from back home were district finalists in the Newton division for the national championship.

Pride is a weird thing to feel for a sports team. Yes, we founded it. But I don't know a single student on the team now, I'm pretty sure I don't know a single mentor, and that was 20 years ago. I'm only connected to them in story.

... Still feels great to see them fly so high though. I do get to revel in the progression from knowing how little we knew about what we were doing back in 2000 to watching the students that share the number build an incredibly precision machine that does precisely what it's told.

There is a solution. Believe it.

We're ready for the first day of the #FIRSTRoboticsCompetition championships! Looking forward to a full day on Curie Field.

My #frc team (6238 Popcorn Penguins) just qualified for the championship for the first time in our 8-year history! I'm so proud of this team and our scrappy little algae bot.

1. Cataract surgery on my other eye is complete. Needed an extra med for that eye because me. 🤪
2. The carer I hired did an excellent job. She drove me to and from all my eye appointments & helped with a few errands today, and got along well with my kiddo.
3. I simply love my eye surgeon. He is kind & great bedside manner.
4. Kiddo is off to #FRC state championship for robotics. I’m so excited for him but sad I’ll miss most of it this year. Hopefully, I’ll join him on Saturday.

Congrats FIRST Robotics Competition Team 2702 on placing 3rd at the Ontario District University of Waterloo event this weekend and clinching a spot at the provincial championship in April.

In FRC, high school students and adult mentors design and build a robot and compete in a new game challenge every year.

My son's on the team this year, and I'm a mentor.

Both #SkyviewRobotics teams are competing this weekend and... I haven't been up since 4:00am. I'm not at the venue. I'm not working on losing my voice already. For the first time in 10 years, we're competing in a Saturday-Sunday event, not a Friday-Saturday. My brain is actively rejecting the oddity of it all. #FIRSTRobotics #FRC

FIRST Robotics time again, and this year I'm judging, which requires some pre-work.

The hardest part of judging is the final few rounds, when we're trying to decide to hand the award to the team that walks on water or the team that cures leprosy. Lemme tell you: one of the reasons I keep doing this event is that. The original purpose of FIRST is to inspire the next generation of students (originally the future engineers, but increasingly just good people who know how to be good to other people).

That's a head-fake. The inspiration is circular. These students make me want to stand up and demand the world be better because they fucking deserve better from it.

When I'm tired... Bone-tired, blood-tired, forty-years-in-the-same-flesh-tired... These kids ain't ready to quit yet and all of a sudden, neither am I.
