If FIRST really wants to create college level participation and wants lots of it, they should work hard at creating a program designed for college students. Something that will fit into a full time student's schedule, something that will earn him/her credit during the school year, something that will recognize the amount of work they put into and how much the got from their participantions. Think along the line of co-op programs... The students will never be asked to work full time AND take the classes of a full time student. Instead, they are given credit for the job, or get paid by the company, and their school recognizes what they are getting out of the program. Now that's real support.

I thought about creating a program that is like FIRST but is geared towards engineering schools. Then again I am only 16 and I am not even in college yet but if I ever did start it I would be doing so many cool challenges that do not involve robotics.
