Re: CD's Unofficial Caption Contest #374
This year team 1519 decided to do something special to mark the 20th anniversary of FIRST. They decided to rig a flux capacitor to their minibot and send it as a gift to Dean Kamen back in 1988. This is what actually gave him the idea for FIRST and explains why the robots were so small during the first year. They struggled with getting it up to 88 mph with such a short pole but eventually got it to work. Unfortunately, they set off the sprinklers in the process and created the first water game. This truly was a historic moment for FIRST in so many ways. Thank goodness someone was able to document it.
