Re: Why did you join FIRST?
Well.... when I was in sixth grade, my little sister was a girl scout, and we always got their brochures with all the camps and stuff in it. There was one that looked really interesting, apparently the girl scouts were sponsoring an FLL team. It sounded pretty cool so I became an illegal girl scout for a while just to do robotics. Sadly the team died out the second year, but I was hungry for more robotics. Then when I was in eighth grade, my older sister had a lot of friends from band that were on a robotics team. They let eighth graders on and so I showed up at one meeting and was hooked. My first year I was the pit boss and safety captain, and now I am the lead programmer since the lead programmer from last year graduated.
FIRST changes you in a lot of ways, before being on the team, I wanted to be a professional dancer. But now that I've had a taste of the world of engineering, I don't want to leave it.
