There are several ways to be on a FIRST team besides the actual building of a robot, everyone knows this. FIRST has spread to parents, teachers, and engineers nationwide, and as everyone knows, once you catch the FIRST bug, you're affected for life.

Amanda,
Have you considered documenting your experiences on a FIRST team as a photojournalism major? There are some who feel that FIRST has problems handling non-engineers, and you are certainly an example that defies that stereotype. Especially with your past team's success and your new role pulling together a new team. It might be something worth writing.
Just a thought...
PS - good luck with your team, if you want to know anything about how we organize things on the college FIRST level up here at Clarkson, just drop me an IM or email.
