"Eh we'll figure it out later."
Nathan Nguyen has been a devoted member of OA Robotics since the 2016 school year. As a member of the team for 6 years now, Nathan has been an encouraging leader essential to the foundation of our FRC 4079. Serving for two years as Head of Technical, Deputy Captain last year, and now OA Robotics’ very own FRC Captain, we don’t know what we would do without him. Some of Nathan’s greatest experiences on the team have been going on trips. From Houston Worlds in 2019, to AVR just recently, some really valuable memories have been made. Key moments in Nathan’s FRC journey have been meeting the founder himself, Dean Kamen, playing Valorant with the team, making it to Worlds, and even general FRC meetings. Achievement-wise, Nathan is proud of all the team’s placings, including (and not limited to) 2019 OCR Finalists, placings in the JPL Innovation Challenge, Quarter Finalists at Worlds (in the Carver Division), and most recently, 2022 AVR semi-finalists–with Nathan as FRC Captain and robot designer/builder. Nathan has recently committed to Kettering University to pursue Mechanical Engineering. Along with his major, Nathan is interested in a handful of programs Kettering has to offer. As of now, he has expressed interest in coming back to California during his co-op period, where he will either work with a company or mentor an FRC team. We thank you for all your work and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Come back to visit soon, Nathan!
