I couldn't agree with you more on that one.
I've never been much of an engineer or science person...I don't program or drive robots.
But I am absolutely infatuated with the FIRST program.
How is that possible? I came from a team that had an outstanding foundation of mentors working on film crew and documentation. I found my niche taking pictures and videos, making slideshows and other videos for the team throughout my tenure.
Now, I'm at Ball State University majoring in photojournalism. I would NEVER have even thought of this major if it weren't for Team Hammond having a film crew. I also brought my skills to Team 1720 (my current team), who didn't have a film crew, getting more students interested as they learn exactly what documentation of a team entails.
Perhaps this is FIRST's attempt to bring even more people into the program who might not have been interested before.
Having a film crew is extraordinarily important. You not only get to see how your team has grown over the years, but you also get to preserve memories that will last a lifetime.
