It's great to read all of the heartfelt reasons why people love FIRST robotics! I know I continue to be in FIRST because the program has taught me things that I could never hope to learn in school!
We at
FIRST 846 recently started a program call "Because robots..." Through this campaign we hope to show the world why robots rock!
We created a website
http://becauserobots.org/ where we post videos and articles about why robots are awesome! If anyone has something interesting to share click the "Submit a Post" button and share it with us!
Also, we are encouraging people to complete the phrase "Because robots..." with a short blurb. For example "Because robots can save the world!"
If anyone has a phrase to share please take a picture of yourself holding up your completion to the phrase and submit it on our website. For more instructions, click the "Submit a Picture" button found on the homepage.
We'd love to hear what everyone had to say! Thanks!
