Sweepstakes Chairman 2009 | Head Judge 2010 | Fringe Mechanic 2006, 2007, 2008 | Fringe Pusher 2006, 2007.<br \/>\nI added the first raceday jumbotron as Sweepstakes Chairman in 2009! I also pushed through the most substantial rule changes since the complete rewrite in the 1980s with easier to follow wording and more importantly major safety improvements. Two examples are mouth guards for drivers and double bales on raceday. 2009 was also the first raceday with the BAA and I owe them many thanks!<br \/>\nIn fall 2014 I became a PhD student studying robotics at Johns Hopkins University. Prior to that I worked for 4 years at CMU&#8217;s National Robotics Engineering Center on robotic tractors for John Deere. My buggy experience changed how I work when designing robots, measuring performance, and working on a team.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3304 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/EMoss-photo-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"EMoss photo\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/EMoss-photo-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/EMoss-photo.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Evan Moss &#8211; Spirit &#8217;13<\/h3>\n<p>After graduating from CMU I became an Engineer at 4moms. While in school, I got into buggy because of the family-atmosphere of Spirit. I pushed hill 4 A team all four years and took over leading workouts my freshman year. Eventually I became known for my workout blog: <a href=\"http:\/\/getbiglikeevan.blogspot.com\/\">&#8220;Get Big Like Evan&#8221;<\/a>. I went on to become\u00a0\u00a0head mechanic in my sophomore year and then Chairman for my Junior and Senior years. As a Mechanic, I\u00a0lead the build of Mapambazuko and Kingpin 2. I still spend some time at rolls when I get the chance<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Connor-Hayes.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3305 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Connor-Hayes-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Connor Hayes\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Connor-Hayes-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Connor-Hayes-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cmubuggy.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Connor-Hayes.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Connor Hayes &#8211; Apex ~&#8217;14<\/h3>\n<p>I am Connor Hayes, though most people in the buggy world know me as &#8220;the apex guy&#8221;.\u00a0 Early in my freshman year I caught the buggy fever and knew I had to be involved.\u00a0 My floor at the Rez on 5th was a very close group and we decided to go out on a limb and start our own buggy team, one that would be completely open about the inner workings of our team and buggies.\u00a0 Being a freshman chairman was incredibly challenging as I had to learn the procedures of buggy on the fly and how to successfully lead.\u00a0 The two years I was chair was one of the most stress filled and difficult times of my life.\u00a0 I made countless mistakes along the way but grew immeasurably during this time.\u00a0 The friends I made and lessons I learned have changed who I am for the better and I am completely thankful for the experience.<br \/>\nCurrently I am a student on a leave of absence working full time at an auto shop and restoring a 1980&#8217;s BMW.\u00a0 Had it not been for buggy I would have none of the skills required to pursue this new hobby.\u00a0 I hope to return to school and finish a degree in mechanical engineering an interest I discovered as well through my time in Apex<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is the second\u00a0installment, we introduce to you our next three panelists who will be on stage Friday after the races at 2pm.
