I remember a time when FIRST held their season ending event at Disney World.

It was a happy time, it was a great time, I had fun, I competed, I felt accepted.

Nationals to me is a specific age in FIRST history. Think about Mickey Mouse, ESPN, Rule Books with less pages than the robot section of this years manual.

I still on occasion call it Nationals because i like to reminisce of those happier times, Not because I am ignorant or lazy (btw thats real polite )

heck I don't even know what Old Skool is and apparently neither does my spell check.
