First thoughts of post: Sticky this, so people can see what joining FIRST can do beyond the robot, like most great things in life, FIRST is a much deeper thing then when you first look at it. If you've been involved for awhile, remember the first time you heard about FIRST, now look how far you've come, 5 bucks you never though that would ever happen to you.
The example that Andy used at the end of his post with the mentor talking to Dean about the Segway is another example of what FIRST preaches at competition (and all too often people tune out), Gracious Professionalism. As you can see the mentor did not use their GP, and Dean did.
All the pages that there on FIRST's website that most of us don't read, like the
About FIRST Page,
Impact Page,
about: FRC,
FLL, as well as keynote speeches at events, all say something in common. FIRST teaches people more than just how to compete, and there are too many things to list.
Thanks FIRST
