I definately agree. I think that everyone gets so many different things out of First. I personally learned a technical thing or two but most of what I learned were business skills that will stick with me for the rest of my life. For other people it was learning about how to design, animate, or fabricate the robot.
I think with so many facets of FIRST, success comes from learning the true meaning of teamwork through working towards a common goal.
A team's goals change from team to team. Some want to win championships, some want to win the chairman's award, some want to mentor other teams, some simply want to produce a working robot and learn. And from what I noticed, teams usually very happy if the process of obtaining the goal the team had a lot of fun and worked together well but there is usually less fond memories if there was a lot of inner strife. We wanted to qualify for a nationals this year but it didn't happen but we felt incredibly accomplished working together to produce an amazing robot.
