Re: Why did you join FIRST?
During 7th and 8th grade I built 12lb combat robots for local competitions. By myself, on my own dime, out of my own garage. When I got to high school I saw a flyer for a FIRST Robotics club. I went to the meeting and as soon as I found out I got to work with real drill presses, build a robot 10 x the size I was building now, and most importantly of all... get to build on someone else's money. I was in. Now I'm in my senior year and I get to use our machine shop and spare parts to build my robots along with building the FIRST robots. It's a great deal.
