Re: One word to describe FRC

Impossible. Organizations like this shouldn't exist! So much money, so much volunteering commitment, so much difficulty in running a successful team or pulling off a successful event, but we all do it every single year, again and again, and most of us will never stop.

Re: One word to describe FRC

I'll list a few:
-United
-Unreal
-Unique
-Intense
-Indescribable

Lots of I's and U's

Not one word, but to be honest whenever I think of what FIRST is or could be all I think of is a word for "bringing a tear to my eyes". That is what FIRST does to me.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

Experience.

FIRST students get more real world experience in the execution of technology programs than the vast majority of their peers.
