[Jeremiah Johnson]

You know. To address the solving problems using robots thought. You can put an infinite number of sensors on a robot and the programing could be as long as the Bible written four times over, but that can still never compare to the problem solving ability of the human brain. Great, we can build robots that do anything realistically. But what FIRST is about, is getting these kids to think about these problems at an early age. When taught at an earlier age, people have a longer time to develop a solution to a problem. FIRST is just 4 or 5 steps in the infinite staircase of science and technology.

You have to get students interested before they start to think about something. How do you do that? With an exciting game. I love to throw stuff at people, now I know how to build a robot to do it for me. I'm going to stop with the self-inspirational thoughts now...

Thanks for thinking...
