Good to see FIRST teams getting the recognition they deserve at home, especially nice long stories like this one. I'm from a fairly small team in a school that doesn't care too much about science and engineering (we were the lead story in the school paper, but that's mainly because I'm the news editor

), and we don't get too much recognition. However, I was pleased to type "FIRST Robotics" into Google and receive a lot of hits that were actually related to FIRST.
