Go to Post The rules also never explicitly say that I can't park a Boeing 747 right in the middle of the play field and use it as an obstacle for the other alliance. But after a little thought, something tells me that I probably should not do it. - dlavery [more]

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.
I would have thought we'd acknowledge it as it's twenty to give credit to the many people who worked to get the program going in the first place. Though I suppose if FIRST recognizes 1992 as it's first year then it's all good.
