Re: It is about the robots (OpEd)
I would like to complement (not compliment) Steve's great remarks. He mentions transferrable skills as an important part of what is being demonstrated and passed on in FIRST. I totally agree.
The technical skills are important, too. The problem-solving skills, the creative design effort, the I'm-not-willing-to-give-up-just-yet-lets-make-it-a-little-bit-better mentality are huge parts of what makes great engineers and scientists. These are the types of technical professionals that are going to make this a better place. Not only following in someone's footsteps but making some tracks of their own. So, go ahead and buy stuff if you want. You can still get a great technical experience as JVN has described. But don't forget that overcoming the challenge of making something new will be some GREAT training. Something you can explain to a job recruiter that WILL get their attention. Ken |

Finally in 1944, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent and re-awarded it to Tesla. The issue of who the "true" inventor of radio is something that is still debated vigourously by many academics. But it is safe to say there is no "cut and dry" answer. /end tangent... |
