Dean Kamen, 2006 Kickoff Speech:

So, in order for FIRST to work, we had to go find the super stars of science and technology. They are out there, they’ve created the life we’ve take for granted. But we had to collect them and figure out how to put them in front of kids in an interactive way that is friendly and appealing and accessible like sports.

Most teams do not have access to a Joe Johnson, or a Mark Koors, or a Paul Copioli. I think this perfectly fulfills Dean's vision of putting the superstars out to a much wider audience in an interactive way that is friendly and appealing and accessible like sports.
How many times have you heard someone say "there isn't enough time to do CAD in a 6 week build season"?. I'm pretty sure JVN is going to do CAD in a 3 day build season. How about, "I can't build X without a CNC"? Dan Richardson did.
