I know and totally agree! The early days of FIRST truly put out some amazing design ideas, many of which have been limited with today's countless regulations and build rules. I still gawk at designs like 111 Wildstang in 2004, or to go wayyyy back, Texas Instruments' robot in 1994. For some reason I am amazed by the execution of this design, and am extremely entertained by watching it.
