This has to be my favorite quote from a corporation (well NASA) about FIRST:

"There is no altruism involved in this at all. I know what missions NASA is going to fly in the next 20 years. I know what sort of expertise is required to build the next generation of Sojourner. I need those people... If I can get 1,000 students a year through the FIRST program excited about science, technology and engineering, even if 95 percent of them never go through to a Ph.D. program in robotics engineering, that is still 50 robotics Ph.D.'s I can hire."
-David Lavery
NASA’s Program Executive for Solar and Planetary Exploration
