There is a new FIRST!

upsetting the government is unaware of such a great program that first is just to take its name like that or they are aware and have the same praise to the bill as it does to the program (although unlikely)

The government is absolutely aware of FIRST. "Dean's Homework" for years past has been to talk to your local representatives, and Dean has appeared before Congress with FIRST teams many times. And in case you didn't notice, President Obama opened up our Championship this year.

Ahhh of course, the Fraunhofer-Institut für Rechnerarchitektur Und Softwaretechnik. If they continue to gain traction, they could pass us up on the global stage as an acronym ... if people can figure out how to say it
