A true legend in @FIRSTweets has been lost. Mark was a humble man who was always there to provide his time whenever needed. Many of you know Mark as the co-founder of @andymarkinc or perhaps you have seen or worked with him on the field as an FTA.

This is a friendly reminder to everyone to take precautions, stay safe, but don't forget to live. Take a break from the news of the virus and watch a TV show, play a video game, or read a book. Living in constant fear and panic is draining on your mental health.

Have I spent my morning crying? Absolutely. Our kids have worked so damn hard and it's the best thing we've built. But if something happened to someone they love because they brought a bug home from a competition... none of us would be able to get past that.

For today's programming meeting we went over the driving and bucket code on last season's robot. I think we're almost ready for the 2020 competition season! 😎
