It could be helpful for you to understand the very beginning of FIRST. I have a grasp of it enough to understand it but not to inform adequately. I always look forward to listening to the wisdom and information provided from those who were there before us. Hopefully, one of our engineers/mentors/students from that time period could post in this thread or lead us to other posts that explain how this all came about. Where we are today, in our upcoming 2008 season, has our roots in the formation of FIRST. The roots run deep and they are healthy. The FIRST website is helpful as well. It may not provide the answer you are looking for but it provides the mission and the vision very well.
