Re: Question: What was the first FIRST competition you attended?

First one for me was the 2008 (and first) Where is Wolcott Invitational.

It was June of my 7th grade year. My friend had called me up and told me his sister has/ is hosting a robotics competition in town, and asked if I wanted to tag along to keep him busy and check it out. I didn't have any other plans so I said why not and went.

I had heard about the High School's robotics team before, and had participated in a Lego camp run by them, but beyond that I didn't really know anything about the competition. I had an absolute blast going and watching the matches, dancing around, and I got to have GUS Pulled Pork for the first time. (YUM!). I pretty much was hooked, and made sure to attend every WIWI after that, and did end up joining the team in 2010.
