So who will be the storytellers for FIRST? And how will they tell them - that is, in what medium?
This sounds like an excellent project for teams; recall your team stories, video those who lived them telling them, and preserve these, showing them to future teams.
That would make for a good start on the future, IMHO.

I think sports get a bad rap here because many participants did not get involved in sports, or they had bad experiences. My own sports experiences were with a 'win at all costs' team mentality, one which caused me to leave the team in my senior year. I do realize that this is highly unusual, and that coach was eventually "retired", despite his winning record.
