National Honors Society

That's a good point. I agree that being in FIRST will help you more than any cult-like society (it is at our school too), not just in terms of putting it on the applications, but also the work ethic and skills you obtain.

Example: Right now I am interning at FANUC Robotics as part of our school's MST curriculum (think of it like a co-op program, except unpaid). They won't take people who weren't on the FIRST team, simply because they don't work as hard as someone who has that type of experience.
