Meet the Current Members of the 
3491   FIX IT  robotics team!

I'm Devin Campbell. This year is my third year with the FIX IT team. I am not totally absorbed in robotics. I'm also a scuba diver, and amateur rock climber. I'm part of a wrestling team and work at a pizza place.

I've been with the team since the 2009/10 season.

I'm Katherine Silversides.  This is my sixth year working with LEGO robots, and my third working with TETRIX.  I enjoy the planning of the programming, and figuring out just why the robot isn't doing what we told it to do, or more accurately, what we forgot to tell it!  When my life isn't involving robots (in one way or another), I'm a competitive curler and enjoy squeezing in a time for reading a book or two.  

I've been with the team since the 2009/10 season.

I'm Alex Ihmels.  This year is my first with the FIX IT team.  I like to design underwater ROVs and air planes.  In my spare time, I am an avid D&D player and war gamer.

Megan loves driving the robot.

I like designing and building different types of drive systems.  When I'm not working on robots, I like curling and being outside.

Hi, my name is Ian Leslie and I am 16 years old.   I used to be in an FLL team, but this is my second year as a member of an FTC team.   The best part of being in an FTC (or FLL) team is that after a while the entire team seems to become friends that you can have fun with. In my spare time I like to do programming (currently I am focusing on programming
Flash games), I enjoy programming challenges and am looking forward to
programming the FTC robot. I also do a bit of art.

I was with the team for 2009/10 and 2010/11 season.

My name is Kika Mueller and I am in Grade 9 at Esquimalt High.  I first heard about and met the FIX IT team at the 2010 Vancouver Island Science Fair.  This is my first time working with any kind of robots.  Besides FTC, I am involved in drama, sewing and music. 
I love logic and am hoping to have lots of fun working out the kinks in the robot!

I was with the team for the 2010/11 season.

I'm Daniel Wason and I'm 14 years old. Last year I was on a FIRST LEGO League team. After about 10 years of playing with LEGO it was fun to work with Mindstorm robots. I saw FTC robots at a provincial tournament and wanted to jump into FTC. My favourite part of the FTC experience is designing and building the robot. Other things I enjoy doing are playing video games, hanging out with friends, and active stuff. 
2009/10 Season

Hello, I am Luc William John Briede-Cooper, but I just go by Luc. 
I was born in London England. That was one year of my live in which I
have no memories and as each moment passed, it became more and more
distant.  As each moment passes as I write I feel the question
pending, lingering in the back of my mind like the distant background of
music; inescapable yet inevitably.  Why are we here?  The
question of the ages that has baffled the minds of the Great and
Wise.  The question I have yet to answer in this brief history of
time in which we live and thrive.  In my search for answers I have
unexpectedly found myself on an FTC robotics team due to the joint persuasive
efforts of Devin and my parents.  This is my FIRST attempt at the
creation of a mechanical mechanism with its own special purpose, unlike us
humans. I was on the team for part of the 2010 season.

I'm Sebastian Sutter and I'm 15 years old. I started in 2006 with the NanoStormers in the First Lego League. That year went well for us, winning 1st place in Teamwork at the BC provincial tournament held in Vancouver. One year later, I participated in the Power Puzzle challenge. This year I decided to join the First Tech Challenge to try
out the new building system, TETRIX, and for the fun we have as a team. I enjoy building with Lego and TETRIX and also seeing the finished robot on the playing field. Besides FTC, I keep busy with photography, video games and the Air Cadets.
