FIRST is built on a three-part foundation of commitment -- by sponsors, by volunteers, and by teams. By magic, each part receives a substantial return on what it commits to the goal of changing our culture.
By moving here and continuing my own commitment (in each of those parts), I have learned that the FIRST sponsors, volunteers, and teams in Michigan work to a very high standard of excellence. The FIM system is far from perfect -- but as Karthik likes to say (quoting Vince Lombardi), it is by relentless chasing perfection that we catch excellence.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
