It is hard to imagine a FIRST competition without Baxter Bomb Squad. For those who know this team, this message is superfluous. If there were three dozen teams around the country like Baxter, with the same level of community involvement and commitment that they produce, FIRST would be a household name. While producing a top-notch robot is a challenge, creating support and enthusiasm from the community is the more difficult task. Baxter has achieved both.
Well Greg, after playing against each other for five years, at least we were in the eliminations together(thanks to Truck Town). Only a relative few know how close we came this year. But the freeze-dried burger from the Brawl didn't cut it. I've missed two Brawls because of business conflicts; I have no intention of missing a third. They shall return.
