The benefits of FIRST

[Ryan Morin]

Hey everyone thanks again for all the help and I hope to get more posts out of this thing. Give me what ever you want from personal experiences to something you've read anything that you think is a benefit of FIRST and hey you might just be quoted in my paper.

I think the proper question would be something more along the lines of:
If you can think of three, what are the things that haven't been benefits from FIRST?

Almost everything that has happened to me in FIRST has either been a simulation of the real world, or has given me skills that can help me after I graduate (I say almost because there is always an exception to every rule, and though I can't think of one now I know it's there).

I've learned so much in one short build season that I couldn't even begin to explain it all. I've gone from seeing something and just thinking wow, to seeing it and thinking, how could I make that? Or a lot of the basics on the robot that I would have to call a mentor over to help me on, I could now probably do in my sleep.
