I have had chance to meet Woodie and he is a great and
enthusiastic champion of FIRST and engineering education
all around. Kudos to Woodie for making the first page!

Its the Jerry Sanders Competition and you will find it started
about 5 or 6 years before FIRST and embodies all the stadium

You can see them compete at the University of Illinois
Champaign Urbana campus at Engineering Open House this March.
Hope you enjoy the video.
