I'd have to say some of the biggest inspirations for me are jsut the over all attitude of FIRST. I orignally joined it cause my best friend in school asked me too. And after going to the Rodeo, I met a lot of interesting people, like even though University ended up tipping us, we became best friends and I even ended up mentoring them at Regionals. So I loved the attitude there, so I decided to stick it up.
Then at Regionals it really hit me. Being a team of 3 incline a lot of people helping you. Everyone there was so nice to me, and offered help. Phillip from ComBBAT running around for an hour trying to find me a part, Lake Brantley offering to let me do human player in the finals, since we didn't make it, along with numerous other things.
Just everyones attitude makes it seem like it's own serprate community, no one fights, everyone laughs together, you all make new friends. It is sorta liek a Utopia on Earth, it is just a nice feeling, knowing nothing can get me down while I am at competition, I always have friends to turn to...
