I was reading "The Journal of Osceola County Business" and I came across an article, "Robotics Competition", long and behold and article about FIRST.
I searched for the article on line but It's not currently up there. But once it is on line, I will update the thread.
Here's is the article as it appeared in the paper.
Robotics Competition
Disney cast members from a variety of disciplines helped sponsor and mentor local Florida high school students in the FIRST Robotics Regional Competition earlier this month at the University of Central Florida.
Walt Disney World Co. has sponsored the Central Florida Regionals since the beginning, and the competition is designed to inspire young people in the fields of engineering and science.
The competition stages short games played by remote control robots that are created by the students and engineers-mentors. Disney's involvement spans over a decade with Greg Hale, chief safety officer and vice president off Safety Accessibility and Advanced Technology, serving on the FIRST Advisory Board, ad well as participant ion from many Disney volunteers in Florida and California.
