What Exactly Does FIRST Mean To You?

[Spammy Badame]

FIRST is awesome, and i agree with tiffany, you meet a lot of new people. FIRST means a lot to me, but i really wanna talk about are my sisters. If you really would like to see how robotics has influenced my whole family, then read below.

My oldest sister is going to be a senior in college, she's studying industrial engineering, she started out studying computer science and engineering. The main reason she is intrested in engineering is because she was on team 180 for two years. she goes to cornell, an IV league university.

My other older sister just started college, she's going to be a sophomore. She hasn't yet picked her major, but it's definately going to be something to do with engineering. Many of you may know her, she goes to university of florida and was on S.P.A.M. for 3 years.

I am going to be a junior in high school. I've already been in robotics for 2 years, and i anxiously await my 3rd and 4th year. before i joined team 180, i was considering studying something in the field of psychology, but now that i've spent two years in the pit (one basically watching, and one actually doing) i'm interested in doing something having to do with engineering.

My little sister, going to be a frosh in high school, already is saying how she wants to study engineering. I keep trying to convince her that she should wait another year before joining robotics (just because i love it so much and she'll be hanging all over me the whole time) but she refuses. and now, i can't wait to help her out in the pits and share everything with her that i know.


My whole family was affected by robotics. It means a lot to me. So far, we've all been on pit crew, but my dad is trying to convince me to join software because he keeps saying computers are our future. I'm still deciding about that tho

Thank you FIRST, you've meant a lot to all of us!!
