"Quite the opposite" -

Kristofer Lindquist is a freshman at Purdue University studying Mechanical Engineering. He is from Edina, Minnesota and is doing 18 credit hours in addition to being a vocal part of Team 1646. He is new to the team, but not to FIRST, and he is excited to be a mentor after being a student for so long.

He's so far enjoyed learning how to use a lathe the most. He is a member of the Drive Train subteam and is leader along with Kyle Love. He describes himself as Swedish, tall and awesome. He loves polar bears because they are good swimmers and can survive midwestern winters. On the same track as winter, Kristofer enjoys Christmas. He gets physically sick from peppers, but doesn't specify what type. Like a polar bear, he enjoys swimming, but he also enjoys skiing and video games. He is hoping for a global ice age so that he can get in some more skiing. His love of the water may be a factor in his favorite color being blue, but he says its because of the color of the sweedish flag. He wants to take his degree back home and work on robotics in Minnesota.
