My first FIRST competition was IRI 2002. I wasn't on Cyber Blue yet but a friend's older brother and father were, so we were doing field reset and I just thought it was awesome. Hammond capturing all 3 goals, and T3's little truck driving around. It was something spectacular. My first competition on Cyber Blue was Richmond 2003. That was also just an amazing thing. 3 days worth of robotics and some fun times afterwards. The team social with ice cream, a great hotel, tons of awesome things. FIRST started it all, I am what I am now because of robotics. It really does inspire.
