Keep in mind I've only been on the team since 2006...
Our team has participated since 1992, but it seems that due to some paperwork snafu (probably related to the renaming of our sponsor) we were off the "original and sustaining" list. For the past several years, we would call FIRST and plead our case and ask to be put on the list; because of this 148 has been an "on again, off again" legacy team for several years.
This year, we were finally put on the published list as an original and sustaining team.

I can tell you that coming down to Greenville and joining 148 it was very apparent to me the pride this town and community feels for its robotics team. The continued support we receive from our extremely generous sponsors is incredible.
As an outsider, it is cool to think about how the City of Greenville, Greenville ISD, and E-Systems had the vision to get involved with this program and the dedication to stay involved with it for so long. This is definitely something to be proud of, and I continue to thank our community for making this possible and for being involved for so long.
All 148 members stand on the shoulders of giants.
