Re: Best experiences in FIRST

I've got two:

1) In 2009 it was my first and only year in FIRST as a student and that year my team won their first regional at the Lone Star Regional and we went to Championships. I think this was the second to last year it was at the Georgia Dome and I'll never forget that feeling when you walk into the dome from the pits and you just hear all the sounds from the different fields and see the hundreds of teams queuing up at their respective fields. It was that "First time at championships ever" feeling and it's what got me hooked on FRC for life.


***Best overall experience*** I don't think anything will ever top this one.

2) 2012, I started FRC team 4209 the TigerBytes. We went with a Pacman design for our shooter (not sure why but it just happened) and we made it a goal of ours to have it "waka" on the field at least once before the regional was over. So in one of our final matches on Saturday we were able to get on the bridge and balanced and you could just feel the excitement from the kids brewing because they knew it was going to happen. When the "waka" happened they were so excited. Just seeing the kids that happy that we accomplished a goal we set just for fun regardless of the outcome of the regional made my weekend.
