The Man With a Plan

Legal name: William Jullian Leverette, Jr.
Nickname: Billfred
Date of birth: May 20, 1986
Occupation: Unemployed. Ask me about employment opportunities.
Residence: Columbia, SC
Education: Extended Studies Diploma, Irmo High School (note that this was awarded alongside his standard high school diploma, making for a rather annoying dilemma since his diploma cover has room for only one.)
To date, is the only person on 1293 to be tackled by a robot in autonomous operation.

2007-present: Team 1618, Columbia High School, aka Capital Robotics.

2004: FIRST Championship, Real-time scoring for Archimedes Field. (And in one practice match, robot. No teams brought a robot to that match, so all of the volunteers were feeding them balls. I wheeled over a mobile goal, and got a ball in the head for it.)
2004: Robot Rodeo, scoring/field assembly/field disassembly
2005: Manchester Kickoff, field disassembly
2005: FIRST Championship, real-time scorekeeping
2005: The Capital Clash, DJ/play-by-play/mentor round emcee. (The mentor round was played for laughs--it may well be the first time an emcee has said "Here goes nothing" before a match.)

Plans over the next four to five years:

Attend the University of South Carolina
Earn a degree from the Moore School of Business in Marketing
Enjoy himself thoroughly
Continue involvement in FIRST, which oughta be easy because the Palmetto Regional is about four blocks from his dorm room.
Get more FIRST shirts. Sixteen is not enough.
