Go to Post In my book the team building experience of the kids training the engineers in the operations on the field would be invaluable. It might not get a trophy but you win far more in the long run. - Wayne C. [more]

Re: Old FIRST (and US FIRST) videos posted on Youtube

Wowwww. that's just freaky

Woddie Flowers, 13 years ago......It's just insane how much FIRST has endured throughout the years.

"20 team, 30-odd teams, 49 team, 60 teams"

That's untill 1994.

12 years later, it's multiplied by almost 30: +1503 teams and not just in the USA, but around the world in 7 other countires (and soon [really hopefully that even this coming year] to be 8).

FIRST is having a very steady increase in it's impact, and I firmly believe that towards the end of this 2000 decade, we should see a more inclined increase in the number of students, number of teams and number of regions participating in FIRST competitions.

Just listeneing to the qoutes of one of the team mentors from 1994, saying that they "don't know what these components are or do, this is a new type of technology" makes me feel more eager towards the upcoming 2009 season.

These vids are really good for various perspective, such that I've realised the use of the FIRST wheels as a "suction" and "release" for ball games was present even 12 years ago, in the 1996 Hex game. If we'd seen these footage before, I'm sure we'd probablly take into consideration that manipulator for our 2008 robot.

Thanks a lot Andy, keep 'em coming.
