Go to Post I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. - s_forbes [more]

What are some things that you associate with first or the FIRST regionals?

As the first build season draws to a close, and the regional season starts up Im wondering what words, phrases, or thoughts that people are associating with FIRST in general and FIRST regionals.
I look forward to seeing your responses

FIRST regionals = the major rush of adrenaline when your robot pulls into the scoring zone with seconds to spare, lack of sleep, lots of techno songs that get stuck your head forever (even a year later I still remember), meandering around the city with the team, running around hotels late at night then being at the arena a few hours later, meeting lots of new teams, being the ambassador of goodwill and walking around with my twin (steph) passing out hartburn bags, scouting 4 teams at a time, watching the amazement in guys when i thought of strategies for the matches that actually worked, the feeling when you look up on the screen and see that your team scored the highest match of teh day, lying around the pit with the team when our day was over....good times.
