But FIRST is *far* from the only thing! There's Formula SAE, Formula Hybrid, Design/Build/Fly, Solar Car Racing, AeroDesign, Steel Bridge, Concrete Canoe, MATE ROV, and the list goes on. Do something else for a while, you can always come back to FIRST.

If any of you are heading to RPI in the fall and have any questions, I'd be glad to answer them.

There are other programs as well. I did ChallengeX (http://www.challengex.org/) for 3 years at MTU and it helped me tremendously in getting a job after college. Now its called EcoCar: http://www.ecocarchallenge.org/

I guess does it count, I am starting a Masters in Engineering program at Michigan through the company I work for. 1 Class done, only 9 to go!
