Re: Why did you join FIRST?

I believe it was in 2004(FIRST Frenzy). My dad came home and was talking about it after hearing about FIRST(and the Palmetto Regional) on the radio. He then pulled the site up and watched the promo video. I fell in love with that video and showed it to everyone I knew.

When we went to the Palmetto regional a few weeks later, we fell in love with it and then took a trip to Championships. The following year my dad decided to start a FLL team(I was in 6th grade) with three of my friends.

That first year we got the name "Cyber Storm" and moved with two years of FLL, a year with FVC(now FTC) and last year the was the first time being in FRC.

With being the first FIRST team in our town, and my dad pushing the whole thing. What has now grown into two FLL teams and pretty well known FRC team in our community, with my dad pushing the whole thing forward; volunteering at anytime and mentoring FLL teams, I can't imagine life with out FIRST.

ps. To this date FIRST Frenzy still has a special place in my heart, for being the first game I ever saw.
