FIRST is an excellent organization. I have been on an FLL team and an FTC team. Now that I have aged-out of the program, I still like to stay involved by volunteering at the events!</p>

I've volunteered at FRC, FTC, FLL, and VEX events for the last few years. Support for these kids will pay off in the future.</p>

I love what the team at RevRobotics have done. The RIOduino is pretty cool. We are definitely not looking to copy or re-invent something that's already been made. I also really like their new structural system!</p>

It's available through AndyMark and you might even be able to use your FIRST Choice credits for the purchase. Not saying that SparkFun shouldn't do a breakout board, but if this one fits the bill I'd suggest your time is better spent doing something unique instead of re-inventing the wheel.</p>

I'd love to see what teams start doing with the expansion port this year.</p>

I was in the FRC competitions while in high school for three years (back in the day) and they were loads of fun. One of the main reasons why I tinker around with so many electronic gizmos! ha<p>I can see this partnership going a long way with exciting new elements that can be added to the FRC robots from the creative minds of SparkFun and their great community. :)</p></p>

As a member of FRC team, Team 5052: the RoboLobos, and someone who learned so much about electronics through Sparkfun's website, it's really cool to see this partnership</p>

I've been working with teams in the area since the double digit team number days. Las Guerillas - 2014 Champions Baby. Sparkfun is the perfect partner for FIRST. Cheers,</p>

If you've never been to one, you should definitely check it out since they are a blast. Thumbs up to Sparkfun for partnering up!!</p>

It seems hilariously logical to compare components to a banana!</p>
