My sister and her husband have been involved with First for many years, both judging and refereeing. They got my wife involved judging in LA for a couple of years, but I never really had a clue what they were doing. I just knew that she would head to LA for a couple of days and I would be at home with the kids on our own for the weekend.

Then she started a team, 2493 Robokong and I was to be the programming mentor for the team.... and then my life changed in strange and mysterious ways :>

Now we compete in San Diego, judge in LA and Phoenix and do field setup/teardown at all three regionals. We also made the trip to New Hampshire for kick off this last year. Next year we plan to go to Championship for the first time.

My only reget.... I didn't start sooner.
