Re: FIRST-like Programs at the College Level

Surprised no one has brought up Design Build Fly yet! I was on DBF for a couple years in college when not involved in FIRST mentoring.
DBF is a university-level competition to design an RC aircraft to accomplish specific objectives. It has a pretty regulated set of requirements (like FIRST).

Also, consider the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition, sponsored by ESRA. Some teams use this competition to design a rocket capable of reaching 100k+ feet http://www.soundingrocket.org/
