Yes, Operation Catapult was a lot of fun and I would definitely recommend it if you're considering Rose. The field trips (to the Caterpillar Plant, a transmission manufacture plant, and various other things - like paintball) made it even better. It was prolly the best three weeks of my summer I met only 4 other FIRST people there, which was kinda surprising, but still I had a great time. Plus, since you go through normal admissions criteria to get into the summer program, you have a pretty good chance of getting into Rose - such that you actually fill out an application while there. The professors, I suspect, act as the teacher recommendation, so stand out I got my acceptance letter from Rose in mid October, which really took a lot of stress off of this school year. Finally, the counselors there are actually students from Rose, who of course are really cool and energetic. You can browse through the 'top secret' page they put together for my session with all of our projects here
