Josiah Van Hattem
Age 18
So... a little bit about me Well, I am a bit crazy, weird, oh wait, yeah a maniac. That's what I was looking for. Well, I was here when the name Mechanical Maniacs was formed and the world was introduced to maniacs. I saw the team as it has grown and shifted and become something that is
unforgettable. I will have done 10 years of FIRST and 10 years of 4-H. I have done 5 years of FLL, and this will be my 5th year of FTC. I love robotics and it's my life and what I want to do as my career!! I do other things, too. I do anything physical sports, running, wrestling, anything, but not at a school, just for fun. Oh, that reminds me. I have been homeschooled all my life, and I am a Christian. Not because of me, but because of what God did for me . Oh, and I eat everything and anything, except boxed stuffing. That stuff is nasty.

Consequences of an all nighter
Our robotics team spent the night at the Brinkman's house before we went to Tigard for the kick-off. Josiah apparently thrashes around in his sleep a lot. He grabbed the Brinkman's ottoman in his sleep and hugged it like a teddy bear for most of the night until his face started hurting and woke him up. He went to sleep on the couch in the back ground. As you can see, he didn't stay there! :)
