pic: From Old to New

[Marc P.]

That thought hadn't crossed my mind when I took it, but now that you mention it, maybe it was a subconscious impulse

I like this picture because it illustrates pretty well just how big FIRST is becoming. I know there's a lot of discussion about how fast we're growing, and how big events are getting, but things like the '92 demonstration really put quite a bit into perspective. I feel like I walked away from Battlecry with a better understanding of the big picture of FIRST and it's ultimate mission, and how it's evolved over time into the competition it is. From seat motors driven by tethered power sources to relatively complex IFI PIC based controllers, it's amazing to see what teams can do with any technology provided. Doing more with less has always been the foundation of innovation, and I look forward to much more of it in the future!
