: Say it ain't so...

: I will be honest with you, my first year in FIRST (1996), I had what I can only describe as a religious experience when I first set eyes on that awesomely shiny HEXCALIBER.

: The polished motors, the clever mechanisms, the ENGINEERING. It made the hair on my arms stand on end!

: When I saw that machine, I for the first time 'Got it'

: Oh, I was a FIRST zealot before that, but I did not understand what it mean to make a MACHINE until that moment.

: To think that PSNH & Manchester West will not field a robot in '00 breaks my heart.

: To lose such an inspirational team is a loss indeed.

: Tell me it is all just a bad dream. Say it isn't so.

Mr. Johnson
I totally agree with you. You probably don't remember me, we first met at a scrimmage between delphi and 3d services. I was one of the drivers. I've since made my way through FIRST, starting my own team in '99 and taking fourth. I've been striving since '96 to recreate the magic that PSNH brought with them to that very first Manchester regional, at least very first for us!
