Meet RC Dawson's Team-Part 1

2:21 PM Posted by Anonymous No comments
Sage Thomas
He is the lead programmer for the RC Dawson team and could have written the book on coding for dummies. When he is not teaching the team and the robot how to do almost everything, he is busy creating a code to essentially solve the worlds problems. He is undisputedly the worlds best Llama racer and his three Llamas owe the world to him as well as the rest of the RC Dawson team. He only accepts encrypted emails so good luck contacting him… sthomas@dawsonstudents.org

Cole Folwell
He is a self-appointed Vice Chairman of Public Relations and Journalism for RC Dawson. When he is not sending emails and writing columns he thinks are funny, he enjoys spending time on the golf course. He is a self proclaimed scratch handicap and wished he had another twenty yards off the tee. He’s a fan of music that sounds like a broken gearbox (EDM) and can most likely be found on his couch wishing he could program like Sage. He can be contacted at cfolwell@dawsonstudents.org

Hayden Dodge
There is a good chance he is smarter than everyone in the Chipotle line he often finds himself in. His fiery personality (and hair) as well as his vast knowledge of physics are extreme assets to the RC Dawson team. No one really knows what he does outside of school, but we can only assume its solving complex equations and searching for the last number of Pi. He is a future graduate of an amazing school where he will graduate with honors. On an unrelated note, a huge fan of all you can eat restaurants and can be contacted at hdodge@dawsonstudents.org.

Erik Nickerson
Really he can only be described as the man because his talents are rarely superseded, but he continues to eat vast amounts of humble pie to keep it on the DL. There is rumor that he joined the CIA at a young age and that he could climb Everest faster than Usain Bolt’s mile time. He is the foundation of the RC Dawson Robotics Program and easily the best dressed teacher at Dawson. He can be contacted at enickerson@dawsonschool.org

Jacob Goldman
He is the lead builder and snack supplier for the RC Dawson Team. He plays a key role in actually bringing to life what the team envisions. When he is not at Dawson he can most likely be found at the gym, hitting the biceps again or riding his bike. He is a senior and one of the most committed members of the team. You will see him at competitions eating chick-fil-a while aggressively competing. He is the man to go to for almost any question and can be contacted at jgoldman@dawsonstudents.org.

Logan Gafner
He is the chairman of sponsor relations and business operations. While the team works hard to build the robot he makes sure the team has sufficient funding to actually buy all the parts. He spends his free time volunteering on political campaigns and being a rancher (whatever that means). He also enjoys driving large trucks and listening to country music (I guess that might be considered rancherish…?). For questions about team financing and business operations he is the man to talk to. lgafner@dawsonstudents.org

Alex Pelletier 
He is a lead programmer for the team and codes like nobody’s business. He plays a key role in helping our robot operate effectively. He and Elliot are young entrepreneurs on the road to success. He has never understood why people like skydiving, and has been in a long rivalry with his sister Madison, for reasons neither of them choose to reveal. He is easily the best driver on the team (self proclaimed) and has vast knowledge of almost all branches of the team. He can be contacted at apelletier @dawsonstudents.org.

Connor Smith
He is the Vice Chairman of building operations for the RC Dawson team. He passed the gearbox test with flying colors and knows how to put things together like a champ. He consistently beats Cole in putting competitions on the golf course and studies harder than everyone at the school….combined and multiplied….by…a lot. He also is a talented jeweler and is a stand up guy. He can be contacted at csmith@dawsonstudents.org

Madison Pelletier 
She is a content and public relations manager for RC Dawson and says she enjoys editing the gibberish Cole calls writing. When she is not editing poorly organized columns or making witty comments to the RC Dawson Team,  Madison pretends to be well-read, finds excuses not go outside, and actually has a life outside of her role on RC Dawson. If you have any exciting robotics information, feedback for the team or epic stories & everything else in between, feel free to hit her up at: mpelletier@dawsonstudents.org.

Lexie Schmelzer
She is the head of social media and film department because the ability to creatively splice film together seems to allude a large majority of the RC Dawson team. When she is not creating inspirational videos and providing useful feedback for the team, she enjoys going to concerts, long walks on the beach and modeling. She likes to stay behind the scenes however which is good for Cole because it means he gets more attention. She enjoys listening to old records and social medias like no other (Yea I used media as a verb…Deal with it). She can be contacted at lschmelzer@dawsonstudents.org
