What is your favorite part of FIRST and why? :)

Thats tough, but probably the fact that its a chance for me to be productive and do things that I find interesting are my two favorites. I discovered a couple of years ago that the best way to fend off depression is to do something that I like and gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning. With that sense of purpose everything in my life tends to get better. FIRST definitely provides that. It's a fantastic thing.

Usually engineering classes entail either boring textbook learning, or simple "hands on" programs where you don't learn anything. At FIRST you build stuff yourself, but in the process you learn a lot, because you are part of a large, advanced team doing a complicated thing.
