FIRST in Wired Magizine
as I was reading along in this month's Wired magizine, I came across something very familiar, FIRST! on page 150 in the Wired NextFest section there's a mention of FIRST and how it came to be. Also that there will be teams there for some exhibition matches. (Just wondering what teams they're talking about... anyone know?)

I looked for the article online and could not find it so I just copied below for all of you who don't get Wired.

And the robots that were in the picture that have readable numbers are 343, 1743, 138, and if I am correct the other two are 555 or 1555, and 1138. Please correct me if you know who's robots those are.

The "article":

FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION
FOR INSPIRATION AND RECGONITION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Founded by Segway inventor Dean Kamen, FIRST stages math, science, and tech matches to encourage kids to pursue careers in those fields. The exhibition games at NextFest showcase the winning work of students who, with volunteer mentors, custom-designed robots to compete in the annual contest.
