Hey guys,

Post your inspirational FIRST photos here, you know, the ones you took at any regional.

Here's one of mine:

Inspiring America's Youth.


Imagine the caption "Inspiration. FIRST." in the corner and BAM, you've got a sweet poster!

holding Chairmans Trophy as a Team Captain was a dream. And it came true this year..... For the first time in the history of Chantilly Robotics, our team was able to win the Chairmans Award; a hard work by all the members, well paid.
FIRST Robotics has changed my life dramatically. Two years ago when i stepped on JFK i had no idea which way to go. But now after two years, as a Captain of Team 612, i know my way, "to make this world a better place with my knowledge."

Very nice. Looking back at VCU, I wasn't looking for shots of this nature, yet I realize now that there was a lot more behind the scenes than just raw competition.

Ironically, you've inspired me to take a different stance as to what I'll be looking for at Atlanta: less robots, more humans.

For the time being, this is all I can muster

This one was the best I could find.

This is Steven Li.. a founding member of team 772 who is *the* only reason there is still a team today. The picture is taken on his final day of competition as a student with FIRST Robotics, in the Georgia Dome in Atlanta last April. Not even a month before this picture was taken all of the graduating students believed we had ended our careers as students of FIRST on a somewhat uneventful note in Mississauga. I don't think anyone could have asked for a better place to finish it off!

Here's one of me and our lead teacher from the 2006 Arizona Regional. It could fall into the category of "mentor & student celebrating their team's first regional win EVER"

The look on our mentor's face says it all......

I can't find it anymore, but the picture that used to be on the FIRST homepage of the Wildstang drive team right after winning nationals in 2003.

I have a few picture of the 2003 Nats when they put out the paper confetti and I have that picture on my Tool Box. Keeps me going when I need that little bit of help! :)

That's such a cute picture. And for those who don't know, that's Mark Abrams daughter, Mark being one of the judge's at Southern California.

Here are a couple of my favourites...the first is from the Great Lakes Regional in 2002, and the second is from the Canadian Regional (now the Greater Toronto Regional) in 2004.

This is inspirational to me. I think 753 has too much pushing power...

This also inspired the new strategy of "Stay away from the ramp Steven Forbes!"
