This is the concrete data that all of us out there trying to get $$ for FIRST activities really need. To show that FIRST does make a difference (we know it does, but we need to prove it to others!).

A little off-topic: FIRST commissioned a study a few years ago aimed at getting some data of this type. I got a copy of the summary a few months ago. It did not include a copyright marking, so I guess it's OK to distribute it here.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
