Re: History of FIRST
Development, I would assume. Getting sponsors, volunteers, helping to recruit the original teams...as well as the added time it takes to run a competition for the first time. Sure, in 2004, FIRST has running competitions down to a science, but the first time something like that happens it takes exponentially longer to plan and execute.

Edit: 1989 is probably the year he officially started it as more than just an idea in his head.
