Awesome FIRST Flash Animation...

[Tom Schindler]

I was just looking through my hard drive directories of random FIRST stuff, and i found a flash animation that was done by Lora Knepper in 2000, figured i'd share it...

This little movie really brought me back to the "good old days"

Awesome, just awesome!! 2000 was by far my favorite year in FIRST. Looking at this brings back some good memories. One thing I noticed is that it said "Rambots Chat". I thought, "Wow, that was awhile ago." Brings me back to the good ol' days of using the website based Rambot/Tigerbolt Chats...lol

Good find Tom!

ah, this was created before my time.. but thanks for mentioning 188 on there.. i guess around 2000 we were still either the only canadian team (or by this time 296 and 610 had joined) , but it was funny to see blizzard1 up there..as it came to be needed for some inspiration for this year's bot.

great movie!

woah, i remember that one tom. infact, i think i might have that one on my comptuer somewhere too. Its been a long long time since Lora has been on ChiefDelphi and in the FIRST world. She was one of the first people in FIRST who really got me excited into the program.

Wow, that's the good ole days, way before me! Look at Spaceship Earth! It dosn't have that bad wand on it! And their bragging about 10 regionals! Wow, those were the days.

[Jessica Boucher]

Man, I miss Lora.

And to top it all off, 237's 2000 robot was in there! And I didn't even know her at the time.

That's so awesome

[Lora Knepper]

Wow....

I miss you guys more than you could ever imagine.... Tommy, I can't believe you still have that, I think I even lost my copy eons ago.... I was actually just going through my ginormous file box of FIRST memorabilia yesterday and it made a blubbering idiot out of me. Good times, good times.....

Andy-- It did the same for me, which is why i posted it ...

Lora-- Great to hear from you! FIRST isn't really the same without you being around, so it is a pleasure to read whenever you post! We definitely miss you!

[Lora Knepper]

Awww! I miss y'all so much.... in fact, I wouldn't have ever found this had it not been for Jess! God that gave me chills!

[Jessica Boucher]

Actually, it was Joe Ross that originally sent the link to you - but hey, I'll take the credit for his speediness j/k

[Lora Knepper]

ooops.. silly me... all I remembered was the pair of you arguing about who got to post it first ;o)

[TheShadow]
