Kicked Ass!

SRE Kicked Ass Award Every year I get the pleasure of awarding two awards –

June 7th, 2019

The Kicked Ass Award Engineering style, which is reserved for a top FIRST Robotics

Competition Field Tech Advisor who generally save the show each year, and The

Kicked Ass Award for the Show Ready Events events manager who.....well kicked

ass during the year. The former was presented at FIRST HQ in January and the

second one on the road in Detroit last month in front of the team, although the

winner was not present.

The first award was presented to Mark Koors. Almost all of the FRC team has had

a chance to work with Mark over the years. He is a kind problem solver who is as

interesting as he is smart. When he isn't saving the Robotics Competition, he is

saving the world through his volunteerism. What a guy!

The second winner is Ariel Beach-Westmoreland. Ariel is an incredible problem

solver who also happens to be extremely nice! Ariel was put in some challenging

situations this Robot season and had the types of situations where she had to be

both diligent and creative, all while smiling! It seemed like all members of my

core team found a way to bring her name up all spring!

Kudos to you both. I feel lucky to know you both! And THANK YOU for all you have

done and do for Show Ready Events!
