Re: Question: What was the first FIRST competition you attended?
My first regional attendence was the Kennedy Space Center Regional. We went through some tough competition against the likes of Demolition Squad (still in love with that 2000 bot), Baxter Bomb Squad, Coqui Power, Metal-In-Motion (their first Regional ever), and a host of other great teams (Big Jimmy =)).

We were second to Metal-In-Motion until the final day where we took 1st seed away from them and chose BBS as our partners (Baxter Alliance). We went on to win over the second seed alliance of Metal-In-Motion and Demolition Squad even though we took a beating in the process.

Leaving with the gold was really cool, but it really changed my perspective about this competition. Originally, I thought this was an excuse to miss a four days of school. After that I couldn't get enough and wanted to be much more involved.
