I often get asked, and even more frequently ask myself, why I spend sometimes upwards of 30 hours a week on robotics. I’m reminded why every time I go out to talk about FIRST, because each and every time, without fail, more and more people answer yes when I ask them if they’ve heard about FIRST Robotics. My dream is that my children will one day be able to look up and see their favorite FRC team winning a world championship on TV; and for it to be normal that they hope to one day be able to celebrate under the confetti on Einstein. We’re are getting closer and closer every day because of the thousands of people who work tirelessly to make that dream a reality, and I’m proud to be one of them.
