Welcome to he Kingsville Kukes Team Members page. Here's here we tell you all about each of the members of the group, including all those old guys who help us out (teachers and parents and whatnot for you "politically correct" individuals . . .). So feel free to read up on us, and we hope you don't use it to start stalking us and all. Are you still reading this? Wow you've got time on your hands. Wish we did. I s'pose whatever stalls the rest of you roboteers only helps us get ahead. That's right, keep reading. Ayways, we're some incredibly interesting people, so have fun reading up on us. Over and out.

Rob Kipping - The head designer of a things medial and websitical. He's the one who's made this whole thing so pretty. Check out the shadowing on that Gear up there . . . shweet . . . [remember to check out TopNotchBlog.com]. This is Rob's 3rd year on the team.

Kevin Brown - The master programmer. By the way, don't forget to take all your high speed internet needs to Wavedirect . . . He's working on some superawesometopsecretblowyourmindsweepthecompetition kinda mechanism/programming stuff, and that's all you need to know. 4th year on the team.

Mike "Tank" Howlett - The strong, silent type. Super math/science guru genius person. He's had some good ideas these whole four years with us, and this last year is no exception.



Mike Costa - Italian engineering stallion. Initiator of the underlit scooter movement. Don't feel too bad that you didn't have Mike around to build your team such an incredibly perfect robotcart. He's also an important member of student counsel. 3rd year with us.

Matt Hauessler - That's pronounced "House-ler." Matt is highly skilled in the art of Feng Shui... yeah... 3rd year on the team.



Brian Whitfield - A two-time gold medallist in the Special Olympics, Brian is currently making headway on our the robot's F%PP@#!7!js$. If you can manage to decode that, you may find out a very important secret aspect of our robot . . . Else we're not telling. So stop asking.

Josh Vlodarchyk - Yeah, that's actually his last name. I don't think even he knows how to pronounce it right. Co-initiator of the scooter thing. Knows the rules. Secondary driver. 4th year with the team (Did I mention check out TopNotchBlog.com? Well do it.)


Michael "Machine" Mendonca - He makes stuff. Has a gun. Licks his tongue. Does the worm in the Kurby costume. Loves the cochlear implants. Says 'mangina'.



Sam Ferber - Another student counsel member, has a thing for being beheaded. 3rd year here.



Ryan Dunmore - Electrical wiring and such. 3rd year here.

Oh yeah, and he drives the robot.



Jason Jarrold - Self proclaimed slacker. N'uff said. Does some wiring stuff, I s'pose . . . but mostly he just does what he wants. Usually nothing.



Mike Gerhardt - I dunno. He's just there I guess. Does this. Does that. I'll look into it further. Later.



Jordan Vlodrchyk - Newbie = general labour, if he's not avoiding work. Younger sibling of the other Vlodarchyk. He whines a lot.


Matt Diprimio - Geez, another Matt. Like the 27th in 6 years. General this and that work.



Dan Howlett - 3rd generation Howlett sibling. Can't say much for his work ethic, as he's sitting here beside me playing internet games. 2th year on the team, 6th year we've been putting up with him being around though. "How ya gonna act!?"-Dan


Alex Chortos - Silent but deadly. Master Pilot of the robot for the past two years. Or driver. Whatever you want to call it. 4th year on the team. He'd also like to remind us that he's a secret agent man in his spare time. Explains a lot, I guess.


Steve Chortos - Newbie. 3rd generation Chortos sibling. Not as bad as that Dan character.




Pete - Another Newbie, first year on team. Likes math, or so I hear...



Sam Yang - One of he most frustrating soccer goalies ever. My gosh. And don't get us started on snowboarding. Two words: Multiple concussions. As far as his robotics work goes, no one's sure what he does, but he's our most valuable only Korean member ever.

Stacy D. - When Crystal left last year, we weren't sure we'd have another female this year. Then came Stacy. We're set, I think.


Ryan Hazzard - 3rd year on the team. We don't know much about Ryan, except that his last name tells us he's dangerous and possibly lethal if ingested. Contact your local poison control centre within 48 hours.

Nick Hotz - Senior officer of content for this here websitty. Wrote every one of these blurbs except this very one (from the Kipster). This guy is one talented biotch, when he's not creating beautiful sand sculptures, he's at the rail yard working on his flies. GO TEAM!

Mr. Doey - In-Charge-Teacher-Person. Puts up with us li'l b*******s and dedicates so much time to this here team. All in all, it's undeniable: Mr. Doey, you rock out loud.


Mr. Chortos - A think-tank all by himself, Mr. C's a GM engineer. A hard worker and a comitted (rather, obsessed) robotics team parent, we'd never have gotten as far as we have without him.

Jim - Does a lot of building for us uneducated not-skilled students. Wish I knew how to weld aluminum. Go Jim.



Bob - Another GM guy. Quite the machinist. He helps with just about everything.




George - 1st year mentor. Helps where help is needed, and picks up the rare slack.
