First Inspiration Break
Take a “FIRST Inspiration Break”, we will be there for you!
At FIRST competitions, competitive robotics team members have their minds on their robots, not themselves. Girls may find they need personal hygiene products or guys may have forgotten their deodorant.
FIRST FRC Team 3932, The Dirty Mechanics, want to give fellow competitors an “FIRST Inspiration Break” in their competition restrooms. At competitions, they have baskets of personal hygiene products, deodorant, hair ties, etc. in all competition restrooms. They also add fun uplifting quotes to inspire their fellow FIRST members and remind them to “Keep Calm and Wrench On!”
Why did we start? A team member started this initiative several years ago, because she needed a hygiene item while at competition. Fortunately, her mom attended and could assist her. Realizing this could happen to her, this could happen to anyone! With that in mind, FIRST Inspiration Break became a reality.
