Inspirational photos

Hey guys,

Post your inspirational FIRST photos here, you know, the ones you took at any regional.

Here's one of mine:

Inspiring America's Youth.


Imagine the caption "Inspiration. FIRST." in the corner and BAM, you've got a sweet poster!

holding Chairmans Trophy as a Team Captain was a dream. And it came true this year..... For the first time in the history of Chantilly Robotics, our team was able to win the Chairmans Award; a hard work by all the members, well paid.
FIRST Robotics has changed my life dramatically. Two years ago when i stepped on JFK i had no idea which way to go. But now after two years, as a Captain of Team 612, i know my way, "to make this world a better place with my knowledge."

Very nice. Looking back at VCU, I wasn't looking for shots of this nature, yet I realize now that there was a lot more behind the scenes than just raw competition.

Ironically, you've inspired me to take a different stance as to what I'll be looking for at Atlanta: less robots, more humans.

For the time being, this is all I can muster

This one was the best I could find.

I have a few picture of the 2003 Nats when they put out the paper confetti and I have that picture on my Tool Box. Keeps me going when I need that little bit of help!

Here's one of me and our lead teacher from the 2006 Arizona Regional. It could fall into the category of "mentor & student celebrating their team's first regional win EVER"

The look on our mentor's face says it all......

I can't find it anymore, but the picture that used to be on the FIRST homepage of the Wildstang drive team right after winning nationals in 2003.

I've always liked this photo that David Kelly uploaded awhile back.

Yup, that's it.

393 fixing their robot, which many teams helped them with at pittsburgh to get them into the finals.



868 truly amazed me and it's so inspiring to me. (even though it is just the pit), they were able to change their robot during matches, never missing a match, and finding a way to help in any way they could for their alliance.

I've seen one like that...only it was a Regional Chairman's award...one guy was holding it up with one hand, and people surrounded it with their hands. Probly it was team 48, but I'm not sure.

My goodness. Are they really holding up the robot like that? Maybe that is now why we have safety captains and safety tokens and safety awards and safety judges. Man, if that thing fell....

While it's not from a regional - it's from this year's build - I still find it inspiring.

A mentor (formerly of #818) looks on as a fellow mentor (formerly of #93) and a high school senior (in the 857 sweatshirt)
teach a new student how to put together extruded aluminum.

It's all about passing on the knowledge.
