How many words can you find in FIRST?

You may be surprised, but there are 29 words found in FIRST! Impressive, right?

Now for the real challange: how many in robotics? Hint: More than 100, and they must be in the dictionary.

To get you started:

1. bistro
2. brosot
3. boist
4. boort
5. boost
6. boots
7. boric
8. boris
9. coost

I will give the answer in about a week. Everyone enjoy!

Yes, using the generator scripts like that are cheating. It makes it no fun!
