Re: ESPN Magazine Mini-Article on FIRST - 8 May 2006
Something that is misleading in that article is that we are not handed this KOP worth $17,000. Teams pay for all of this through sponsorships and fundraising. The article seems to say if I read it correctly that the largest corporations GIVE FIRST money to send teams a KOP and they neglect to mention that the game each year changes. It doesn't mention that these major corporations mentor teams and their workers work together with local high schools to construct a robot to perform certain tasks. This makes FIRST seem really boring and it doesn't highlight the fun and exciting aspects of FIRST and what it is really about.
