My name is John Francis Lovely, I am in the 9th grade, and I am the lead web designer for the TPAA Norbots. I joined robotics to be part of a team because that in its own way can be a fun and great experience. As well as the fact that my comfort zone is around technology. This is my first year being in robotics. I like using computers which is a big factor in why I chose the position I have and I can also say that I’m a bit of a perfectionist. My goals for the future include getting my degree in computer engineering and perhaps earning myself a job for a big name industry in video games. You can't see me, my time is now.
