Hi again :-).
It is too hard to top what I had last week in "Remember that thread?", so this week I am going to start something call the "there is a FIRST for everything" series ;-). In this series, I want to bring back some of the threads about things when they were first introduced to the competition... things we take for granted nowadays...
FIRST has gone through a lot since the beginning. In its short history of 13 years, it has gone from a small competition in a high school gym in New Hampshire, to the near 1000 teams with more than 20 regionals. It wasn’t easy improving the program year after year, but some how the FIRST staffs did it, and FIRST is more successful than it ever was. A big reason for that success is that FIRST is willing to try out new ideas. And every year, the program gained something because of those ideas.
In the "there is a FIRST for everything" series, I plan to bring back some discussions from the past and show you what people thought back in the days when they face brand new changes in the competition.
Without further delay, here is "Remember that thread?" #2:
