[Mr. Van]

Its not about the robots.

If you have FIRST in your blood, then step up to the real challenge and cross the line to mentoring, coaching and volunteering. Be a referee or assist in field management, or robot inspector. Or start a team and guide it in the ideals of FIRST.

But ask yourself, "Why?" and "Who am I doing this for?" If the answer has anything to do with "I like building robots" then by all means, build robots, but you can do that without FIRST. If the answer has something to do with "passing it on" or "sharing" or "inspiring", then let that be the foundation for your new team.

Good luck!
