The following thread (one of this thread's related threads) implies that is 179's robot.

There was an additional comic strip where the couple discuss FIRST as the husband is watching it on TV and the wife is folding laundry.

Dean Trivia: Dean has a blown up version of this comic hanging in his machine shop, right by the entrance to the room with the sandblaster.

Yeah, I was thinking it had been a while... Didn't he offer a signed strip or something like that as a prize for a contest, once?

The FIRST related Sally Forth comics were written by Steve Alaniz. He was the Electrical Engineer mentor for team 57. He moved to the UK in 2002, this year he started a rookie team in Britain. Team 1884, they competed at the Lone Star Regional this year and did well.

As for the nod to 179, don't read to much into it. the original printing of the comic had the title picture with 57's robot from that year.

This is awesome. I always love references to FIRST in media. Now what would really be amazing would be to get it featured in some prime time show (Simpsons and Family Guy come to mind because they are animated and do not need real footage other than for reference). Can you imagine how many people would see that? It would really boost the number of people who know of the existence of FIRST and maybe even increase the number of students involved.

That makes me so happy. It really is exciting to see that FIRST IS so out there. I wonder how many people read that and said, "What the heck is FIRST??" haha! But it really is ggggrreat! :D
