Re: Life after FIRST

At my school (U-Texas Arlington), the most similar thing we have is basically an FLL competition required by all ME freshman.

Our team (out of random pairing) consisted entirely of First alumni from one program or another. We were given 6 4-hour class periods to work on the project. We turned ours in halfway through the second class with even the bonus task completed for 120/100 points. Sadly some teams took the entire course time and still finished with B's and C's.

We do have one of the top FSAE teams in the world though and while it isn't quite robotics, building a hybrid racecar with computer-controlled active aerodynamics is a fantastic multi-faceted engineering challenge.
