That's why it's 18 this year & not 20.
However, '11 should be a HUUUUUGE party. Already looking forward to it.  |
I would have thought we'd acknowledge it as it's twenty to give credit to the many people who worked to get the program going in the first place. Though I suppose if FIRST recognizes 1992 as it's first year then it's all good.
