KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - Members of the "Pink Team" cheer on their robot, Roccobot, during matches at the 2006 FIRST Robotics Regional Competition held March 9-11 at the University of Central Florida in Orlando. The Pink Team comprises students from Rockledge High and Cocoa Beach High Schools and is co-sponsored by NASA KSC. The team received the Regional Chairman's Award, described as going to the team judged to have created the best partnership effort among team participants and to have best exemplified the true meaning of FIRST. The FIRST Robotics Competition challenges teams of young people and their mentors to solve a common problem in a six-week timeframe using a standard "kit of parts" and a common set of rules. Teams build robots from the parts and enter them in a series of competitions. FIRST, which is based on "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology," redefines winning for these students. Teams are rewarded for excellence in design, demonstrated team spirit, gracious professionalism and maturity, and ability to overcome obstacles. Scoring the most points is a secondary goal. Winning means building partnerships that last. NASA and the University of Central Florida are co-sponsors of the regional event, which this year included more than 50 teams.

Summary
Senior Airman Chris Fugitt, a retired 96th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron Airman, and his wife and caregiver, Megan, stand strong together at the weeklong adaptive sports and rehabilitation camp at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla. Two years after complications from a massive stroke forced Chris to retire from the Air Force, his warrior spirit enabled him to power past a number of debilitating setbacks and attend his first camp. Megan took part in caregiver-specific activities designed to provide therapeutic breaks for those looking after wounded warriors. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
