This company started as a couple of guys on a team in the second year of this competition, and one day they decided it was better to do FIRST everyday than just once in a while, so they quit their jobs and decided to start helping us. They started helping us build better motor controls.....their new company grew as we grew, they started building complete systems, to run robots, fields, power, and then they decided they'd help us with EDU robots...

And so on, so IFI did start out as some guys on a FIRST team.
