Essentially, I would like to know how the time limits, constraints, and challenges of FIRST have changed your performance in the workplace. If there is a comparable difference between your non-FIRST co-workers, then please make note of that, too.
This project was inspired off of our newest mentor who told us the shortest time he ever had for a project of this caliber was about 6 months, and told me that the students involved in FIRST will be at a greater advantage than those who don't in the workplace.
The information used in this study is for my personal use only, and possibly for use of the team for promotional materials.
Thank you all very much for taking the time to answer my questions, and enjoy the week one regionals!

I'm a mentor/founder of Team 3692
The FIRST experience has helped me in far too many ways to count, in my day job I'm a Systems Engineer type person who work with high end performance computing servers.
Working with students and FIRST has made me a better programmer, more organized, more thoughful, and has really opened my eyes to what todays youth are challenged by as they enter the workforce and college.
All of you FIRST students are truly amazing!
