Hi, My name is Andrew Weissman Aweissman7 and I am part of the Downingtown Robotics Team. I have experience dealing with electronics and am being educated in mechanics. I was a human player for FRC Downingtown Area Team 1640 "Sab-BOT-age" and I am now a part of the drive team. I am a part of the design and mechanical teams.
