Because Robots: website to inspire youth about technology.

[JonathanZur1836]

A site like this is just what we need! It pains me to say it, but the truth of the matter is that people don't really know what First is, and what it means to us. To paraphrase Will.i.am from last year after Dean Kamen asked him to make First cool, "First is already cool, we just need to make it big.". It is true, we all know what this competition is about, but unfortunately, people begin to lose interest when you tell them "no, our robots don't tear each other apart, they shoot balls and hang tubes." They don't understand why we stay at school for hours on end working on one robot, or why we are constantly talking about it and explaining it. We need a way to showcase First in a nutshell, something that quickly and smoothly portrays First as the incredible organization that it is, and pulls people, including students, mentors, and sponsors in. I believe that this site is a fantastic start to that, keep up the good work!
