Our Team 2006-07

Team Members

Alaric I am 12 years old from Maltby, WA. I like science, LEGO, snowboarding, rock climbing, and Curling.
  Andrew I am fourteen years old. I take Tae Kwon Do and art lessons, I go to Wilderness awareness school, and I love Legos and computers. I also play an online game called Runescape™. What I like about FLL is being with the team, finding different ways to do the tasks and having fun.
  Brian Brian is a Martian posing as a 14-year old from Woodinville. Other programs he has infiltrated include sailing, rowing, and wilderness exploration groups.
  Joshua Joshua is an 11 year old boy from Bellevue, WA. He enjoys skiing, creating things with LEGO, and gadgets including computers. He really enjoyed being on the team this year and has learned just enough to make mom concerned about the possibility of finding her appliances rewired or reprogrammed.
  Mercury Gnome Mercury was born in 1994, and showed great interest in science and language from the time he was very small. He learned to read at 4 and wanted to read mostly science and non-fiction books, Magic School Bus being of great interest early on. His desire to learn about robotics, among other things, at 5 was what pushed his family into the decision to homeschool. However, it took the push of seeing robots in actual competition at the Pacific Science Center in 2005 before he really wanted to work on them himself. Creating with LEGO has also been a big love in his life for years, and some days his parents tire of hearing him rake through his LEGO bins! FLL has combined these loves for him, along with the opportunity to work with other kids who share his interests.
  Peter Peter a 15-year old from Sammamish, WA.  He enjoys LEGO, MechWarrior, piano, and DDR.
  Renee Renee is an 11 year old FLL rookie who enjoys spending time with the team and learning about NXT construction and programming. She also enjoys creating clay sculptures, developing SIMS characters, attending acting, ballet, and jazz dance classes, spinning sheep’s wool, rock climbing, playing trumpet, and caring for small animals.
Robbie Robbie is 12 and currently lives in Lynnwood, soon moving to Monroe. Robbie loves to spend his time building with LEGO, reading, playing games of any sort, video games and computer. His favorite thing to learn about is the "history of technology." Robbie is a Boy Scout and also really enjoys camping.
  Tyler Tyler is a 10 year old from Snohomish, WA. He enjoys computers, LEGO, reading, cross-country running, and skiing.
  Zach Zach is 13 and has loved LEGO since before he could talk. He builds all sorts of wild contraptions, machines, and motorized vehicles using LEGO. Zach also enjoys all things science especially if there are explosions involved. He likes to read, study the newest expensive super cars, watch tv, play video games, and do anything that has to do with technology.

Coaches

  Heidi Heidi is the homeschooling mother of three bright, active boys. She is eager to support them in their interests and has really had fun this year working with so many other amazing young people as we put together this team. Heidi tends to set really high, lofty goals then work really hard to see those goals become reality. If you want to get involved in helping to ignite the imaginations of young people, please consider getting involved with the FIRST family.
  Dan Dan is a LEGO Certified Professional and the managing member of TrainBuilder Productions, LLC, which provides custom LEGO displays, events, and educational services. Dan has produced commissioned works for National and International clients, mounted hundreds of shows and facilitates a variety of youth programs throughout the Puget Sound area. His studio, City Blocks, is located in Freighthouse Square, Tacoma, WA.
Don In preparation for coaching the Gothic Lawn Gnomes, Don studied the glow left over from the big bang, nailed Jell-O to a wall (with and without cryogenic assistance), worked at the South Pole, received a PhD in Physics, cracked a computer security system, and lost a pie eating contest.  He is currently building tools for filmmakers.  Neither of his dogs has ever solved the Rubik's cube in under two minutes.
