But out principal and super intendent recognises FIRST as something bigger than a sport.

I don't know about your team, but I know that on our's, there sure is alot of sweat right about now with our design decisions just coming together now!
Pretty soon, maybe week 3, we will start the marathon sprint down toward the finish line....and all while powered by Coffee, Gatorade and Twinkies!
We have a playbook....we have offensive and defensive strategy. We have our team huddles, and we will even have team logos and uniforms. (Shirts)
I see plenty of teamwork happening, and we are certainly out to win, even if we are a rookie team.
It's not only like a sport, it is BETTER than a sport because things we learn working on a FIRST team can be used later on in our careers. (and I'm talking from the Engineer's perspective as well as about students! )

Theory is when you know everything but nothing works. Practice is when everything works but you don't know why. On our team, theory and practice comes together. Nothing works and nobody knows why. - CalTran [more]
