Should we try calling them LBMs? My involvement, or really exposure, began by seeing the FIRST logo of corporate HQ in Manchester on a door in the same building as the SEE Science center. I was part of a team of Lego enthusiasts who were building a model of 1900 Manchester Millyard. I thought "I'll have to help the FLL team in my town" when I get back. Then I discovered an up-scale suburban town with plenty of engineers and scientists that had no FLL team. "I'll just start one," was my reaction. Then I found out how tricky and involved it can get to displace the busy after-school lives of middle-schoolers in that aforementioned suburb. I won't go into the gory details here, but suffice it to say that the bulb was eventually illuminated. I do not remember the year number that was, only that the FLL theme was Ocean Odyssey. Since then, quite a few of my FLL alumni have moved into FRC and beyond. I'm pretty sure they will all continue to make the world a better place.
Oh, and the topic title permits me to interject my light bulb "poster" from a year ago.
This should show it to you.
