It's great how many universities are embracing FIRST. For them, it's really a win-win situation. For just the cost of one student's tuition, they can sponsor an entire team of students and inspire them to pursue math, science, engineering, and technology. It's puzzling, though, that these universities don't advertise what they're doing. If Purdue didn't host a regional, I doubt that anyone outside of FIRST would know that Purdue is very active in supporting robotics.

And by the way, thanks for the collegiateFIRST link. It seems that Stanford has a team as well, 114 (EagleStrike).
