The way I've been told the story, FIRST the organization was started in 1989 and basically spent the year and a half-ish getting companies involved and raising money/interest in the program they wanted to start, which we now know as FRC.

That's why it's 18 this year & not 20.
However, '11 should be a HUUUUUGE party. Already looking forward to it.
Libby,

Does this mean we should all expect a giant birthday party for you and your cousin? Since, Dean always refers to his projects as his children.

Re: FIRST Is Going To Be 20 In 2009!

I always find it so weird to know that I, FIRST, and TechnoKats are all turning 18 coming up here! I also find it cool that the seniors of every team this year, that is the ones that typically are leading the teams, are the same age as FIRST. So cool.

Hey seniors. OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH WHHAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?

Ya, they spent the time before that getting companies involved and spreading the word. Yes, I know the FRC is 18 this year (again...) but I am going on my own time, from when the org started.

I wish! That'd be wicked sweet. The wrap party for Champs '11 is really just going to be one big birthday party for me.
