Re: First (1st) Regional Competition
The first regional i ever attended was the NYC Regional back in 2001 .
It was fun I saw Dean and Woodie for my first time there. They were both cool. Dean as a matter of fact had taken a picture with the 2001 522 Team Members and if i'm not mistaken with WILMA (2001 Girl) as well.
Later on that year I had met Deans Brother at Mt. Olive Mania in an offseason Novemeber event in Jersey Or was it PARC 5 in 2002 I forget.
My first National was 2002 in orlando. I must say my first time on the plane was Awesome both going and coming back. I had gotten Deans and Woodies Autograph on my 2002 shirt. Going to WDW was also awesome. I never thought that being away from my parents would be so fun. Usually a person like me would get homesick, as a matter of fact the first person to hug my folks was my ex g/f at the time and not me b/c i was upset of having to return from my awesome 5 day vacation.
And like many other posts here after your first regional you get hooked. FIRST is like a bug. After it bites you the first time your hooked forever. My coach always tells the visitors he can never keep the robotics door closed long enough b/c the members of the team would just break it down. Its just that addictive.
It's a fun learning experienced sport which will continue till the end of time as long as new students like you with the urge to have fun and learn continue to join your local HS's FIRST Robotics Team
