I would just like to voice an opinion that I feel has not been heard…I feel that some of the teams who do not have much student involvement in the actual manufacturing aspect of the FIRST program are potentially short-changing their students. While FIRST is an incredible opportunity for students who desire to become engineers, it is also a great resource for those students who are planning on have a more technical career. I feel that I have learned an incredible amount of information through the more technical and manufacturing aspects of my team, and I am considering a more technologically oriented career. Granted, not everyone can be working with tools and not everyone has the desire, but had the opportunity never been available to me I would not have learned nearly as much as I have.
