Terry Young is a Biomedical Engineer for Medtronics who spends all of his free time mentoring FIRST robotics teams. "Without Terry, RC Dawson would be a much different team. We would have fewer resources, less laughter, and way less Yoda impersonations”, said Peter Coggan, a member of the drive team. Zach Morgan, a current build team member, also jokes that "We would still be making all our robots out of plywood if it wasn't for Terry!" Not only does Terry Young provide intelligent insight on all things related to robotics, he is a valuable to resource about real world issues. He is able to give anyone on the team detailed advice on many topics, ranging from internship opportunities, to college choices, and beyond.
