Re: Why Windriver?

So majority of FIRST's purposes are just head fakes. Its not really to teach you how to build a robot, but more like learning to finish with deadlines. Not to teach you to program robots in the low level but to learn how to work with other departments efficiently.

edit:
What FRC feels like to me is "here is a bunch of lego pieces, make something cool with it" but I was looking for more of the "here is the lego making machine, make the lego pieces, as long as they fit, and make something cool with it". May be I'll have to wait for college for that type of experience.
