Did someone say sweet poster?

I've seen one like that...only it was a Regional Chairman's award...one guy was holding it up with one hand, and people surrounded it with their hands. Probly it was team 48, but I'm not sure.

Really? Thanks for telling me, DCA Fan!

I just saw that poster DCA Fan made with my photo... It pwns. It's awesome!

Ironically, you've inspired me to take a different stance as to what I'll be looking for at Atlanta: less robots, more humans. -geeknerd99

What I love most about robotics is the people. The GP, the teamwork, the inspiration.

Here's a picture I shot at the Arizona Regional. I like this one too. It's somewhat inspirational. I like Lavery's expression.


Keep those photos coming! They rock!

I'm a huge fan of the pictures that FIRST picks out:

393 fixing their robot, which many teams helped them with at pittsburgh to get them into the finals.



868 truly amazed me and it's so inspiring to me. (even though it is just the pit), they were able to change their robot during matches, never missing a match, and finding a way to help in any way they could for their alliance.

Team 188's been lucky enough to get onto the official FIRST photo album from the Championship event the last couple of years, but this is my biased favourite, the "huddle" that is now being displayed by many other teams, but I'm sure we werent the first anyways . It's since gone through a few changes but the concept remains the same. It was always somewhere for us to loosen up right before the match with a joke or too =P.

The new drive crew prefers to huddle with their knees on the ground, but I like this effect better =D.

Also the watches are a definite highlight!

My goodness. Are they really holding up the robot like that? Maybe that is now why we have safety captains and safety tokens and safety awards and safety judges. Man, if that thing fell....

While it's not from a regional - it's from this year's build - I still find it inspiring.

A mentor (formerly of #818) looks on as a fellow mentor (formerly of #93) and a high school senior (in the 857 sweatshirt)
teach a new student how to put together extruded aluminum.

It's all about passing on the knowledge.

I love that picture of Arefin from the Championships last year - it is hosted off of the FIRST website here
