I have to come in on that.

The goal of FIRST is to "Inspire" people. However, without the robots, what exactly would we be doing... If it was all about the community work, then we're just a bunch of co-ed Boy/Girl Scouts. (No offence to any boy/girl scouts out there.) What would be left if we took out the 6 week build time, official competitions, off-season competitions, preparation time for the build time, fund raising for the robot, and showings of the robot at community events? You need to the robot to be able to have those things. FIRST is very much about the robot, because that's what makes it different than different than a large community service project.

I hope my point is made.
