The FIRST Robotics Competition...is all about the robots... The inspiration is the result...

And, I'm willing to say that a successful robot, more rounds, more time with the robot, all of the things mentioned above (that all have to do with the robot) makes the inspiration more successful...

And that makes the FIRST organization or program a success...
