JVN is right.
FIRST was founded in 1989, but the FIRST Robotics Competition started in 1992, and that's the year FIRST recognizes as its first year. 2008 was the 17th year of FIRST. 2009 will be the 18th.
How do I know?
Take a look at my rookie year I listed on CD. I'm 17.
FIRST's age is easy for me.
