Re: History of FIRST

The answer lies at the MIT science museum in i think Cambridge, Mass. The idea of first was started by Woodie Flowers in his engineering classes at MIT. He held a competition which included plastic balls and cups and these crazy swinging arms. I believe Dean caught on to what Woodie was doing(to an extent) and from there FIRST grew. If you get a chance, last I knew there was a cool video about it at the museum.
