Name : Paige Dowding Number of Years on the Team : 4
Why did you join : I first joined the team due to curiosity . After I had received a recommendation from Kaitlyn I had to see what the team was like for myself . Without her telling me about Buzz I would have never joined the team in the first place .
Favorite part of Buzz : My favorite part of being on the team is seeing the robot on the field after a long , grueling build season . Seeing the bot at competitions shows how we achieved something as a group and where able to solve a difficult problem in a short period of time . I love it when all our hard work pays off after a long season .
Most memorable moment in your time on Buzz : The most memorable moment that I have on the team is the time I made the spacers , which are pieces of material used to separate two or more parts , on the lift for the 2015 robot . This part took a lot of time and energy to make and I learned a lot about the machines in the process of making it . This is my favorite memory on the team due to the amount of time I spent and this was one of the first major parts I had made for the robot that year .
Future Plans : I hope to attend WPI , UCONN , or Western New England and major in Robotic or Computer Engineering and minor in Mechanical engineering . After college I will find a meaningful career in these fields and one day return to FRC in order to mentor on a robotics team .
