Palmetto. 2004, although that's pretty easy to figure since there's only been one of them.

My first regional was the 2001 VCU. Don't remember much besides not figuring out the game for quite a while.

This is going to date me....

My first FIRST competition was the 1998 Mid-Atlantic Regional. Our robot that year was pretty bad. We didn't win a single match. Something broke catastrophically in every match. We did, however, win a Special Judge's Award for Victorious Perseverance in the Face of Adversity. I'm still of the opinion that the "Victorious" part was wishful thinking on the part of the judges.
