Team 5 has been around since (the octagon ring) 98 - so that only makes them 7 years old - 8 including this year.
Many people make the mistake we where around since FIRST started - but 1998 was the last year they changed the numbers every year - so we got lucky!
I've been involved with FIRST for 6 years now (including this year). Does seem like the years really slip by when you are having fun (I can rember the Original ramp/hang from the bar year and the 4v0 years
)
