Actually, it was founded to increase high school student's interest in
science and technology, which would include things like animation, that being technology. That is also why FIRST includes things like the Autodesk and Website competitions, for the students who enjoy things like that more.
Back on topic, I agree with Ken. FIRST, while it does want to nourish student's interest in all fields of science/technology, leans more towards the mechanical/software side of the spectrum when dealing with the actual machine. I'm sure there are a few participants who have played around with some wiring and things, but interest in mechanical engineering seems to be the largest outcome of FIRST.
