Thanks for joining FIRST. A ton of teams love using your compressor, they are so much better than the old one!!

I started out in FIRST 5 years ago now. My old high school had a robotics(FRC Team 79 Krunch) team that help start the engineering academy there about 3 years before I got there . I joined my freshman year just through hearing about the team around the school and what not.I wasn't that involved through the build season that year(2010 season). I was thinking about quitting the team, that was till I want to the Orlando Regional. That event, best regional ever, with the energy and excitement is what got me to stay in FIRST and does some awesome things as a student. As they say the rest is history. I am now at college and mentor FRC Team 2996. I would not want to change a day I have been a part of this organization, it stands for some great things.

As cool as building a robot in six weeks is, FIRST goes so much deeper. The bonds you make, the people you meet, the stuff you get to do and what you get to learn about! It just impacts so many peoples lives in so many different ways, that is what people need to see about FIRST to get them in. Or just see an event happen and they will be drawn in, I know I was. Hope this can help!
