Awesome FIRST Flash Animation...
 

I was just looking through my hard drive directories of random FIRST stuff, and i found a flash animation that was done by Lora Knepper in 2000, figured i'd share it...

This little movie really brought me back to the "good old days"

Awesome, just awesome!! 2000 was by far my favorite year in FIRST. Looking at this brings back some good memories. One thing I noticed is that it said "Rambots Chat". I thought, "Wow, that was awhile ago." Brings me back to the good ol' days of using the website based Rambot/Tigerbolt Chats...lol

Good find Tom! :)

ah, this was created before my time.. but thanks for mentioning 188 on there.. i guess around 2000 we were still either the only canadian team (or by this time 296 and 610 had joined) , but it was funny to see blizzard1 up there..as it came to be needed for some inspiration for this year's bot.

great movie!

Wow, that's the good ole days, way before me! Look at Spaceship Earth! It dosn't have that bad wand on it! And their bragging about 10 regionals! Wow, those were the days.

Man, I miss Lora. :)

And to top it all off, 237's 2000 robot was in there! :D And I didn't even know her at the time.

That's so awesome :D
