Well, if those are your concerns, they remind me of the visual of the robot being the campfire that we all gather 'round. If that be the case, then what fuels the campfire? Integrity, honor, respect, trust, humor, networking, fun. What causes the flames to die down? Gossip, grudges, lying, rule breaking, distrust, jealousy, and selfishness.
The achievement and wonder of the FIRST organization is that many students and mentors work together, along with others, to build their teams and their communities in ways that are beneficial, often mutually beneficial. Sometimes, the campfire almost feels like a bonfire when it is being fed wisely.
