When you go to a theme park with 2 other FIRSTers (
) and choose bumper cars based on the number on the side of the car being a FIRST team number. We got 22, 16 and 25!
When you rent a locker there and are disappointed it's not a recognizable team number. Then you go and find locker 1351 and wish you brought the camera just for that. And are disappointed when realizing the lockers start at #1000, cuz you can't find locker 971.
When you are dying to find out what locker you get in school next year b/c you found out last year that locker 1351 is in the senior locker section.
When your nonFIRST friend found the above locker and felt obligated to show you...

Thanks for making FIRST such a great experience for me. I'm no longer on 1351, and I'm not currently planning to mentor team 97, but FIRST has meant so much in getting me to where I am now, in life and at MIT, class of 2011.
I met Billfred! He recognized me!
