The Gearheads had won the 2015 FedEx Innovation Challenge, with one of the top prizes being a trip to FIRST HQ to pitch a game to the game design committee. This was the first time anything like this had been done, so they weren’t quite sure what to expect, but they were excited nonetheless.

....except that we have had FIRST teams work and pitch with the GDC before.
- In the early years, local teams were asked to "step out" of the year in exchange for working with the GDC pre-kickoff. Many old NH teams can confirm being asked (and most declined).
- We had one year where FRC mentors pitched to the GDC. I even think there's a pic on Delphi of Baker and Kyle Hughes with their pitch.
If you want to get real specific and say it's the first time a FRC team has pitched and been allowed to compete, then we can go there. Just feeling nitpicky today
