Re: How did you findout about/became involved with in FIRST?
I played softball every season from when I was five years old until the end of my Junior year of high school, when I realized that it wasn't fun any more, due to an emphasis on "Winning is what matters the most." So, I looked for a new hobby, and a friend suggested I check out the robotics team (this was the year after the Killer Bees were finalists at Disney World, and I didn't even know we had a team!). So, I applied, was interviewed by 33's founding-mentors Pam Williamson and Tim Grogan, and joined the team my senior year of high school. ...this will be my 10th year involved with FIRST. Feels like I just started yesterday.
