I'm curious as to you you put "industrial sponsors". Why not just sponsors?

Thanks for nit-picking -- details are what I love.
I rate the how as highly as the what, and the means just has highly as the ends. How we achieve an objective is just as important as the objective itself.
Impact is good, impact through partnership is the mission. Professionalism is good, gracious professionalism is our core value.
I use the word "industrial" in a broad sense -- I tend to think of everyone in FIRST as belonging to one or more of the sets: community, education, industry.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
