Re: Why did you join FIRST?
Back in 2003, my brother got involved at Londonderry High School in founding team 1058 The Dragoons (Later renamed the PVC Pirates from their 2004 robot that resembled a pirate ship). I went to GSR with some other homeschooled friends and we started an FLL team that fall. I competed two more years after that in another FLL team and then took a break from FIRST in 2007 to take some computer and engineering classes at BAE. At that point, I didn't know if I desired to pursue engineering anymore and that was when my brother began to pester me to get involved with FRC as he saw that I would be good at it based on what he saw from mentoring my FLL teams. Some friends I had met through homeschooling recommended that I join Mechanical MAYHEM and I did for the 2008 season, and have stayed on.
Getting back into FIRST was one of the best decisions I've ever made. And now I am working to get my younger brothers involved with FLL.
