Indeed, FIRST always seems to pop up.
My barber asks me about the robot everytime I get a haircut. My doctor always checks on how we did at regionals. Anywhere I go, I always end up talking about FIRST
In Virginia we have to take the SOLs. For the writing part, I wrote about FIRST of course. I took a test to show my skills in computers to get out of this stupid multimedia course at my school, and at the end we were told to make an 8 minute power point presentation on anything we wanted. So of course I did FIRST. The procter seemed interested too. I wore my FIRST shirt one day, and some guy came up to me and said "hey, I used to be in that."
Next year I think I'll take a picture of the robot with me wherever I go, then I can get even more people interested in FIRST.
