Re: FRC Championships in the latest ROBOT magazine issue

It clearly described this year's game, and it was really conveyed as the action-packed game that it is.

I thoroughly enjoyed the article on FIRST, and I'm going to read the rest of the articles in there.
Robot Magazine is my favorite periodical. Wired is a close second.

Dr. Ken Berry authored the article on the FIRST Championships. Ken knows FIRST, and many of us in FIRST have known Ken for years. He has been a keynote speaker at the Indiana FIRST Teams forums, done surveys at the FIRST Championships, and has helped start the RoboEducators effort across the nation. He's been around FIRST for years and did a great job in writing that article. Also... did you notice that he gave special credit to Brandon Martus in the quotes section of the article? Great job, Ken!!!
