I'm assuming by this you dont mean to imply that you didnt just watch other people build yourrobot and not put any of your blood and sweat and time and energy into creating the beautiful masterpiece that you can call your own.

As for FIRSt being fun, I love FIRST. Its a great place to relieve stress (who doesnt like to swing a sledgehammer at a piece that doesnt want to stay in place) take out other anger (BANDSAWS!) and hang with some of the coolest people you will ever meet? Competitions are a great way to meet new people, including the most diverse set of skills and personalities, all come together for the same reason...The only time I ever get annoyed wtih FIRST is when I have to witness or reap the consequences of the enormous amountof politicing that goes on in our team, but i think that is just the team, and not any part of FIRST. FIRST is life... =)
