My name is Jared Smith. Besides my position on the robotics team, I also participate in many other various school activities. I have participated in the swimming team for three years, football for one, and track for one. My goals include; graduating from high school, attending Purdue University or some other engineering school, and becoming an electrical engineer. This is my third year participating on this robotics team. I am currently the electronics lead and trainer. I really enjoyed the previous two years. I love doing the hands-on work that is done to our robot, and I also enjoy being with the team. We all come together during the season and, although it is stressful sometimes, manage to make it as fun as possible. My favorite memory is the trip to Phoenix, AZ. I had never traveled that far before, and I had always wanted to see the Grand Canyon. It was also my favorite competition besides Nationals. I can’t wait for the regionals this year. Good luck to all other teams!
