Re: Question: What was the first FIRST competition you attended?
my first FIRST Competition was the FLL State Tournament in Georgia in 2005....
but if we're talking FRC, there's my first one and my "first" one. The first competition I went to was the Peachtree Regional in 08. My brother was on team 1002 at the time, so I went up with my parents to watch. It was pretty cool, but I think my 8th grade mind was elsewhere during the competition.
The one event that really stands out in my mind as the first competition in which I was inspired was Championships in '09. My team (1002) won the regional EI award and we went to championships. We were in the same division as some of the really big names. I just remember walking around the pits, and seeing the robots of 1114 and 67. I was just amazed when I walked by their pits with the robots and the teams themselves. When our team lost in the Quarterfinals to 1114 and 2056, I wasn't even mad. Seeing the best teams at Championships was what got me addicted to FRC.
