Your fellow college student has it halfway right. Participating in those other engineering activities is certainly doing something real with your life. But what he's missing is the fact that mentoring a FIRST team lets you do something real with many other people's lives.
SailBot et al provide you with experience. So does mentoring, but of a completely different kind. However, mentoring isn't for you. It's for the others.
