FIRST Robotics Competition – Waterloo 2010

One of the most life altering experiences for me was being one of the judges for the FIRST Competition last year.  Fast forward to 1:03:00 to see us judges making a fool out of ourselves in front of thousands of spectators.  Ahem….we’ll do anything for FIRST.  :)  I’m so proud of all the kids who choose to participate in this awe inspiring competition.
