Re: How did you hear about FIRST and WHY did you get involved?

I joined 449 on a whim, as I had no after-school activity at the time and a couple of my friends were on the team and said it was pretty cool.

At the time I joined, I had no idea what FIRST was or even that it was a team rather than a club, as they were doing a VEX-based preseason project. I first learned about the actual competition a couple days before kickoff.

Seven years later, I think it was a pretty fortunate choice.
