As a student who went to Championships in 2009, I was inspired by winning the 10,000 Lakes Regional but I was more inspired by attending FIRST Championships. We only won 1 match while at FIRST Championships but it is an experience I'll never forget and it is the reason I am still here today.

FIRST Championships is inspiring and the more students, mentors, parents and volunteers I can get there to experience it, the better.
