Is FIRST about Robot?

[Jcarbon]

I think part of the reason this question is so difficult is the ambiguity of the word "about". When we ask whether FIRST is about Robots, do we mean "Are robots the main practical focus of and direct reason for most of what we do?" Or are we asking "Are robots the deeper meaning behind what we do?" To me, FIRST is "about" robots in the same way The Great Gatsby is "about" a rich guy and his friends having parties. It's the main focus, takes up most of the time, and if you wanted to experience it as just that and nothing more, that would be fine. But the deeper meaning behind FIRST is in inspiring students and changing the culture, and understanding that can help you get more out of the program.
