Re: VEX beats others in bid to develop a robotics competition for the TSA
I know that life is rarely simple or one-dimensional; but I occasionally like to view the Vex program as one of FIRST's most compelling success stories.
We all build on the big and small accomplishments of those who have come before us.
I suggest today is a good day to pause and pass out pats-on-the-back for everyone inspiring students.
I say this to the hard-charging team at IFI (plus a zillion volunteers), to the culture-changing team at FIRST HQ (plus a zillion volunteers), to the public servants at NASA, at the Patent Office, in halls of our government, in our schools, and in our other institutions, to the corporate sponsors that invest in their/our futures, to the other complementary robotics/STEM programs, to everyone involved
Today is a good day.
