[Lil' Lavery]

I'm going to leave it at this. Find me one example of a student who changed career paths because of a blown call in a FIRST match.

I'm willing to wager they don't exist. Because the real value of FIRST isn't what happens on the field. It's what happens in your shop, in your pits, at your outreach events, and at your meetings. The real value of FIRST is the time spent working with mentors and teammates. It's not a 135 second period of shooting a foam ball into a fake castle.
