FIRST: For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology.

"To transform our culture by creating a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology heroes."

-Dean Kamen, Founder

FIRST's dedication to helping students interested in technology has definitely influenced our own determination. The fact that technology is important enough to them that they work as a non-profit organization to preach its usefulness, inspires us to work in the field in hopes we discover that same motivation. We love working on our robot and we love that FIRST shares that enthusiasm and supports it. We can't wait to participate in FIRST's high school competition and learn from the other robot designs, but more importantly: we look forward to winning!
