How do you describe FIRST?

Two words - You don't. See, FIRST has gotten so good, and so big, with so many learning (can you even call them learning?) experiences, well, so many different well umm THINGS no, errrr

Well, it can't be described in words. I honestly spend at least half an hour each day trying to figure it out and I can't. The best parts of FIRST just cannot be described. They have to be experienced.

(This may not be the thread for this but lack of ability to describe the program - which is a good thing in my mind in the way it has happened - may lead to the downfall in bringing in new people and teams. The rate of growth of the number of teams used to be exponential, now it is more linear. Has FIRST gotten so good that we can't describe it anymore, and that is leading to a slowing in new members joining?)
