Re: Is FIRST about Robot?
It is about the robot!
The robot is what we use to trick the kids into learning skills they will use the rest of their lives and the community into funding the program.
This simplest way to understand this is to think about what your team (if you have one) does for public displays.
Does your team display graphs of ACT scores, graduation rates, or how many students go to college?
Or, do you display your robots and then tell the people drawn to it about the success of your program?
We have never been asked to set up a presentation detailing how much we raised a students ACT score or improved the graduation rate. They usually ask for a robot instead, and we tell them about our program in the mean time.
