Back in my day, Dean would always congratulate the rookies at the closing ceremonies during Nationals. In case you missed it, I'll do it for you.
Congratulations to all of the new teams this year. You are no longer rookies. Welcome to the FIRST family of veteran teams. Now my homework for you guys is to go out and get the people in your areas interested in FIRST.
