The highlight of my season are the competitions. Why? The excitement! I love watching the matches! I love meeting the people, and seeing the bots! I love watching the matches! I love the excitement! I love watching a robot get pinned early, only to come back later and score the winning points. That excitement is what got me so into FIRST. Excitement is what will get us into the spotlight. Excitement will make this mainstream, get us on tv. FIRST needs the excitement if Dean wants to reach his goal of a team at every high school.

Bill

: People don't get involved with FIRST because the game is cool. They got involved because they think the robots are cool. At first glance, that is what people see. Ask yourself and anyone you know who has ever done FIRST and I doubt any one of them will say that it was because of a cool game. It's just not the way it works. Most people just find it amazing that high school students are building robots let alone that they play a game. So if you think this is going to kill our growth rate, get over it. The excitement level of the game is one of the least things we have to worry about.
