My first was a New York regional that i attended 2 years before i actually joined robotics, my job was team mascot but it was still awsome... ever since i've been hooked!

Story Time:
During the competition there was a round where the judges accidently gave our score to the opponent and our opponents score to us. Dean Kamen was in attendence so I went down and started "chatting" with him about what happened and asked why weren't teams given a round in which they could go to judges and ask them to review the score. He must have taken this into concideration because the next year there appeared a rule allowing this. At home we have a tape of this little argument between him and I which looking back at it is quite amusing seeing myself, less than 5 feet tall wearing a shirt 2 sizes too big arguing with Dean, standing on his Segway, twice the height of me.
