Here are some pics through the years. NHS Robotics started in 1999. The pictures start in 2005 with our regionals and trip to San Jose for the Nationals. I am looking for pics from 1999 – 2004. If you are reading this and you have one or two, please email them to me at daskeyemac@me.com

: Botguy . . . you sexy beast.

: Future legend John Romanishin as a 9th grader. He was scary smart even then. Been building bots since he was in 2nd grade. He still is. Just graduated from MIT.

: An early 2004 bot.

: Our first state championship 2005. We came in 3rd in the regionals in 2003.

: San Jose 2005. Kent Miller (works for Apple), Jorge Vilatoro (another NHS legend), Zac White (now owns his own Software company in San Fransisco, and the other Macbook is mine.

: San Jose 2005. The beginning of a dynasty. The core members. Too much brain power for one table.

: Brenna Wallach. Brenna was the glue that held the team together for four years. A steadying calm influence. Now graduated college.

: After winning regionals in 2007.

: We did all kinds of things to raise money. HUGE garage sale, candy sales, football raffles, going door to door, etc. . .

: Our planning dinner for Hawaii 2007.

: First I buzzed Mr. Lifsics.

: Then Mr. Lifsics buzzed me.

: Mr. Lifsics buzzed me after graduation so that we could hold up our end of the deal. The team raised $3000. If they had raised $5000, I would have had to get a mohawk. Mr. Lifsics supported me by buzzing his hair. Pretty noble thing to do considering it was his first year as a sponsor.

: Shaving your head is weird.

: Hawaii 2007.

: Jamie and I in Hawaii 2007 after we ended up coming about 25 mm away from winning a 3rd straight World Championship. Oh well, it was A LOT of fun!

: Nils and John in Hawaii. Nils is now wrapping it up in Engineering Physics at OU and John has just graduated Mechanical Engineering at MIT.

: At the our 2007 headquarters on the 36th floor of the Ala Moana. We got an identical suite this year for our team headquarters.

: We took the bus everywhere in Hawaii in 2007. Probably do the same in 2012.

: Hawaii 2007

: Hawaii 2007. Wow, these are really out of order.

: Legendary builder and biker John Rom (Now getting ready to graduate MIT)

: back of 2009 tshirt

: Lifsics and Askey’s boys . . . Washington 2009

: Washington D.C. 2009. Future Norman Advanced Robotics members. Oh, by the way, they won the World title pretty much on their own. Now they prepare to dominate the world once again in Hawaii 2012.
