(so that means we missed out in watching the GDC members and FRC Staff running around with a piece of paper taped to their back, while others tried write an essay on it.)
So FIRST will force us to learn how to write. Colleges already love FIRST students, but they'll be giving future engineering students an arm and a leg of scholarship money to come to their school because we'll ACTUALLY know how to write. From what I've heard*, engineering studentz dont hav gewd eenglish...


*and seen exhibited by others. As a journalism student, it's something that really bugs me.
