Re: Question: What was the first FIRST competition you attended?
My first competition was the UTC scrimmage at South Windsor High School in 1997... Way back when the robots ran off of 2 drill batteries..
I couldn't believe how different every team's robot was! It was quite amazing to watch them glide around the field and fumble to pick up the toroids...
I don't recall who won or any specific events (besides a few random robots falling over, which was spectacular), but i knew i had to be a part of it. Coming up on 10 years later, I'm still hooked.
I can agree with Andy when he commented on how he had no idea how much effect the first FIRST competition would effect the rest of his life. I don't know where i would be, or what i would be doing right now without FIRST, it really is a life changing organization!
