(Monroe Trojan Robotics), which is Monroe High's team. T.E.M.P.E.S.T. is Jefferson High's team, if I recall. There's also Virus in Monroe, which is the community college team. (Other county teams include Bedford Express and Dundee Vibots.)


We're going to the Waterford District, the St. Joseph District, the Buckeye Regional in Cleveland, and the Queen city Regional in Cincinnati. Hopefully States and Worlds, too! :D

Do you guys go to MARC? It's not too far of a drive, only a county away! It'd be fun to have you if you don't. Oh, and next year we may be going to that Bedford district that just started this year. It'd be nice to have a home competition that all my family could go to for in-league play easily. It'd be awesome fun to see you guys around! Actually, it'd be crazy not to, you being so close and all!

Well, I ranted a bit. :P Hope to see you (and your team!) come competitions.
We haven't done MARC yet, though it's one of the things I'm going to push. We will definitely be Bro--hoofing it up at Waterford! I didn't realize Fermi was such a FIRST magnet!

I know there will be at least a few bronies at the Baltimare and Manehattan regionals. On a side note, I was thinking of sending something about FIRST bronies (possibly a meetup after a tournament or something) to EQD. Where should we meet, and when?

At worlds, someone could get together a cadre of Bronies together I'm sure.

Most probably wouldn't be able to go anyways. I know I wouldn't be able to.

I think your idea seems more reasonable.

Sounds like a good idea! When is Worlds, again?

April 24-27

I might actually be able to attend that. Assuming I convince some family to go, as I REALLY doubt my mentors would all be okay with that right after worlds. They'd be trying to leave as fast as they can!

Edit: I know that's the best time to do it, but as I said, we usually try to get back from events ASAP, so unless I have family with me, I doubt I could join you guys. I'd try, though!

Re: BRONY THREAD
 
I'm curious: How long have all of you been involved in FIRST (not just FRC), and how long have you been a brony?

I've personally been doing FIRST since the 2005 season (FLL), then continued that through 2007, where we switched over to FTC through 2009. Then I switched over to FRC when I got to high school in 2009.

As for being a brony, I've been one since Summer 2011 after being convinced by a close friend and watching several pony videos earlier that year.

I feel old.

I joined FRC barely over a year ago, as I joined about two weeks before last years kickoff, before that I had no involvement in FIRST.

As far as being a brony, I watched an episode of MLP during season 1, and liked it but was too embarrassed to become a brony, so I stopped watching. After more than a year of confidence boosting (to a point where I don't care what people think.) I started watching again, and still loved it. I became an actual brony right as season 2 ended. I wish I remember what episode I watched during season 1's time. Maybe I'll try to remember what little I can and watch through the entire season again. :P

Re: BRONY THREAD
 
My FIRST involvement started last year at the beginning of the school year. I joined for electronics, stayed for everything else! I've started mentoring two to four FLL teams this year every week this school year.

As for Brony'dom, I was reading the Bros of Failblog every day and saw all these pony maymays and started watching. I didn't become a heavy duty Brony until later though.

Fun story: I joined Quiz Bowl this year. These are usually pretty tame affairs. A bunch of total nerds showing off trivia knowledge doesn't exactly inspire rowdiness. Anyway, at my first event, the question reader starts one question and the end of the first sentence was "...featuring villains Zecora and Discord." I SLAMMED the buzzer and YELLED "MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!" :D

It was a good day

I've done FLL once in 6th grade, this is my first year doing FRC :P.

As for being a brony, I've been once ever since episode 5 I believe, when I saw a KYM article on it, and watched it just to "see how stupid it was"

I have never been so glad that I have been so wrong in my life.

Couldn't agree more. This fandom really is amazing, both from a social perspective and an innovative perspective (music, art, cake, etc.)

FRC - Started Sophomore Year.
Brony - Curiosity got the better of me. Funny how that is.

FRC - Joined the instant I arrived in high school, and fell in love with the activity. I'd done computer programming before, but this is just plain AWESOME.

Brony - My mom works for Hasbro, so I saw S1E1 on the airdate, and had to wait a few weeks before me and my 5 friends got some company on 4Chan. I feel like a hipster...

Wow, you guys are REALLY old haha. Sometimes I wish I had gone into the fandom back then just to feel, at least for a little while, unique. Like this was something that was completely out of the ordinary and no one would expect it.

That's one thing I love about my school. I was the first guy that became a brony that I know of... openly, at least. At a school of 2000, that's unique. I've spread it around, and people are starting to watch it more. Now people I don't even know are bronies here and there, so the fandom is growing big time. I wish when I first watched the show I wasn't so embarrassed to watch it and joined the small fandom that was around for mlp at the time. By the time I warmed up to it it was already... should I say, Mane-stream? :cool:

I don't know if it'll ever be "Mainstream", but I love it, and hope that guys can be and do feminine things sometime. If girls can do masculine things, why can't guys do feminine? I'm not going to continue this debate - not that any of you would object - just don't feel like writing another mile of reasons. (Also, this is me saying "There shouldn't be standards for each gender", to put it shorthand.)
