I like that. FIRST is ultimately more about the people than the robots and there's more to life (and FIRST) than just machines. Also, ultimately technology isn't the answer to every problem and people do have to make important, often philosophical decisions about how they use and interact with technology. I don't really know the answers to those questions but I'm glad that FIRST is making me think about that
