[QUOTE="Ilium, post: 2985050, member: 40124"] [COLOR=#CC9966][B]Alexander "Lex" Cole[/B][/COLOR] [SIZE=-2]Aspiring Robotics Engineer[/SIZE] [imagel]http://home.comcast.net/~jim.ade/graphics/LexColeSmall.JPG[/imagel] Here we see Lex at a Job Fair in Philly, as captured by his friend Alicia. Neither of them found a job, but they are now well stocked with coffee mugs and mouse pads. Lex was born to a working-class family in Radnor, PA. From an early age he was fascinated with mechanical gadgets, helping his father Martin tear down the family Chrysler before he could properly reach the engine. His father took him out in the sticks and taught him to drive when he was 14, and Lex took (and passed) his driving test the first day he was eligible. His parents scraped together the money to buy him a decent computer when he was 12 and Lex was immediately hooked on programming. He combined his interests and made a variety of home robot projects. This culminated just before he entered college in his appearance, with his friend Alicia Hamilton, on the TV show Battlebots. As Team Philly with their 'bot the Philly Stake, they made it to the quarter-finals before being eliminated by the eventual tournament winner Sir Killalot. The experience taught Lex and Alicia much about real-world robotics problems as well as the vagaries of "fame". His Team Philly t-shirt is still one of Lex's most prized possessions, though the Philly Stake has long since been scrapped for parts. Lex's only other real hobby is playing the drums. He was in band during high school and occasionally fills in during rehearsals with his friend Terrence's band Blue Water, but he's the first to admit he's really not very good. Lex's parents (Martin and Laura) and younger brother Cameron (who will be entering college in the Fall) still live in Radnor. Lex has moved out and he and Alicia live in the dumpy off-campus apartment they've shared since their junior year. Though they've been close friends throughout their lives, Lex and Alicia have never had a romantic interest in each other. Their relationship is more like siblings. Lex has had his share of girlfriends, but is currently not in a relationship.
