VARIETY!!!

In FIRST there are many different aspects to be accomplished in those first 6 weeks. These include the robot, the chairman's award, the animation, and the scholarships, and awards such as the woodie flowers award. So basically the robot gives you everything from mechanical to electrical skills, and the chairman's is all about presentaiton and video, and the animation with advanced computer skills. Then you bring in the essays and everything like that, and that let's the word smith's creative juices get flowing, and everybody's brain expands about ten times over. I've said it once and I'll say it again. The average person uses 10% of their brain. I think that FIRST makes the participents use the other 90% just thinking about FIRST, I mean really, take all your memories in life, what stands otu the most. It's FIRST isn't it. So I think they need to have ingenuity, variety, and creativity. And they need to be catchy, has to be fun, and exhilerating.
