My favorite part of FIRST Robotics, is the exact part that it was designed for. It allows students interested in Robotics, engineering and technology to gain real world type experience, and allows students to develop skill which otherwise may not have been available to them.

Overall I also enjoy the method by which they obtain this goal. It connects students with people with actual experience to accieve a goal that may be useful or similar to something that would happen in the real world. Also, the fact that it is like a sport makes it very interesting, especially those who are involved and knows what goes into the robot. The people involved in FIRST are largely the most interesting and nice people out there.

It's hard to choose just one, but, I would have to say, it would be the fact that it was a real oportunity to practice programming, which I had always wanted to to, but due to the size of my school there was no classes on.
