Re: Summer of FIRST Project

One little stylistic note: the ® symbol is unnecessary.

The holder of the registered trademark is well advised to use the symbol conspicuously (though not excessively), because in case of trademark litigation, its use will be favourably construed as an attempt to defend the mark against infringement.

For you, there's no duty to do so (because it's not your trademark) and your noninfringing use of it is irrelevant. If you still want to tell the world that "FIRST" is a registered trademark of FIRST, then feel free to do so—but use your judgment as to how many repetitions are beneficial before it starts detracting from your stylistic efforts.

Now, back to your regularly-scheduled coding....
