Most memorable moment at a first competition

[Deej]

I'll have to say that the entire 1999 season was my favorite FIRST competition. Being a senior in high school and a driver for all 4 years, it was my point to go out with a bang, and make sure that the team did the best it possibly could. It was great in Florida, our first match we were paired with the CheesyPoofs and we were not getting any recognition for our bot, and we went out and had a nearly perfect match. From that point on, we stayed in the top 16 (top 3 slots for most of it) until the last match of the day. I'll never forget being in the pits next to the Technokats, and dreaming about how great it would be if we were paired up with them in elminiations. We never got our wish, but we still played against them in one match and were able to take a technotread and the bot almost completely off the puck. In the end...the match was 7 to 6, and probably the most intense match I'd ever seen up until that point. My last competiton as driver was also the last for Rumble at the Rock, one of the best offseason comps ever!
