Re: Question: What was the first FIRST competition you attended?
My first competition was as a mentor at the 2005 Boilermaker regional. Our alliance of 135, 93 and 876 ended up loosing in the finals in 4 intense matches to 71 1024 and I think 294. the whole experience definitely got me hooked.

When we got there to set up, I saw a team pulling their partially assembled robot and a bunch of pvc pipes out of their crate. I vividly remember feeling kind of bad for them and thinking that they were probably in for a long weekend with that thing. Well, this will tell you how clueless I was at the time, it was team 71, Yeah.
