What I love most about the photo is the symbolism. You have several rookies, a senior, two 2006 grads, and a 2000 grad all looking in the same direction as if with one purpose. And generally that is true for all kids in FIRST.

FIRST has a way of getting all of the arrows moving in the same direction.

Incidentally, the 2000 grad in the back to the left was one of the first kids we ever picked during our rookie season. He came to Ramp Riot with his 3 year old boy and brought him out onto the field for the ceremony. Just an amazing experience!
