Lets see, I met some TechnoKats at a christian music festival in kentucky, it was pretty cool. I wear my FIRST crew shirt whenever I go anywhere and I usually run into at least one FIRSTer. We are a secret cult. =)

I’ve met all sorts of FIRST people in random places. Over spring break, I went to Puerto Rico. Our plane home was late in arriving so I started talking to some of the other people that were waiting. I started talking about FIRST, and it turns out one of the kids was on team 869. Then another time I was at the King of Prussia mall in PA and I met a kid from team 371. And this summer at smart camp(that sounds kind of geeky…) I met an alumnus from team 571, as well as students from 293 and 708. Together we ended up convincing a bunch of kids to join their schools’ FIRST teams. It was fun

I saw a kid in Walmart wearing a FIRST shirt once. He didn't look like he was having the best day, though, so I used my 'finer judgment' and kept walking. I also bumped into the Team 303 advisor in the local Barnes and Noble a few months back.

![]() (Last year, our Teacher was from the Math department, who became too busy to do it this year. We don't even HAVE a metal/wood shop at the school right now, so getting "the shop teacher" to work with the students isn't an option.) OBThreadRef: I ran into a FIRST person from another city on a bus once who was wearing a team shirt. I'm often approached when I'm out of town if I happen to wear any kind of FIRST related clothing or jacket. There's so many teams now, if you wear a team shirt on vacation trips, you're bound to meet another FIRSTer (FIRSTite? FIRSTian?), or general robotics fan, and have a nice conversation. - Keith |

I went to our first football game tonight, against Titusville, and the head cheerleading coach has a neice on Commbat, 21, and we were talking about it, you know apparently they have a 'sign up sheet' in what was it, breeze hallway?, which never actually appeared, it was quite odd...I could only of imagined the game in Commbat was there..

Once when I was working as a Camera-Man for the Easter Bunny set at Oakland Mall here in SE Michigan, I saw someone with a TNT shirt on. I yelled out the team number, but he didn't turn.
I guess that's not really meeting per say.. but still. |

Along with Jeff I was on campus for Band Camp for the week and was spending time with a bum knee on the sidelines. One of the other girls with a bad knee, Jess, used to be on 87 and her boyfriend (a tuba player) has a ton of friends on 102.
Also, my high school's principal was originally a teacher/student council advisor/principal at 102's high school before Hightstown. small world. |

Though I am not sure this is a "FIRST person" I did meet someone who works in Princeton Plasma Physics Labs that graduated from WPI and helped out with the FIRST team they sponsor. Her former high school also now has a team.

Six Flags
While in line for the Raging Bull with 1064's Kevin (formerly 71) someone from a team around the area spotted my 2001 championship shirt. I can't remember who he was or what team he hailed from. We talked to him for a while and came back to bug him after the ride. I think it made all of our days except for the fact that I finally got to ride V2 and Deja Vu
