FIRST used to stand for something. Some thing great. It had meaning to everyone involved in it.
I was eight when I had my first exposure to FRC during the game Overdrive. It amazed me. I could not wait till I was old enough to join a team. Last year we made it to worlds, I was blown away by all the teams. We were honor to play with 1114 and 16. My team sat in the stands watching Einstein, blown away by seeming the greatest teams play to decide the world champion. It was like gods playing chess. One wrong move and you are done. I still have tingles down my spine thinking about it.
This years game was a little bit of a let down, I felt bad for the senors that are graduating this year. Leaving on such a boring game. But now I fear for my senor year. When Championships splits, it becomes nothing. The one thing that has been the same, ever since FRC was played on corn, is there was a world champion alliance. Now it means almost nothing.
