Google Trends for FIRST
 

Take a look at Google Trends for "FIRST Robotics" and you'll see some very distinct lines show up. It's no surpise, but it's really cool to see how evident the seasonality of FIRST is.

Here's a link

Firehox has one too. But why wait for Google to make a Google FIRST homepage when you can do it yourself?

If you go to www.google.com/ig and log in, you can click on the "Add Content" button on the top left, you can add RSS / XML feeds from ChiefDelphi, CD Media, and the FIRST Forums into your personal Google homepage. This way, you get Google, ChiefDelphi / CD Media, and FIRST Forums all on one page. Voila - instant FIRSTified homepage! :D
