Whenever I'm asked what robotics or a robotics team is, I usually say this:
"FIRST Robotics is a program where high school students work alongside engineers and mentors to design and build a robot to compete in a given game each year."


This admittedly leaves out other valuable facts about what a FIRST team is all about, but I've come to learn that this statement is a good start to getting others interested in the program. A little tweaking never hurts, so feel free to put your own spin on it! =]


Once again, great job MORT!
