I personally, think that for FIRST to become truly successful- the games have to change. If you were an average person without a child and were in no way involved with the FIRST program and you heard that big companies partnered with high school kids to y with 'floppies', you would not be overly enthusiastic about supporting such an organization. But what if the game had something to do with inspiring (or completely creating) a robot to help people... For instance, if the game were to rescue people (in the form of dummies) out of burning playing fields (complete with such obstacles as stairs and doors) you would have created something HUGE. That person would now think FIRST was a gift from above. You would have created a game that everyone in the world could see as an important cause. FIRST would be a program that inspires young minds and helps everyone in the world to have a better life. What does everybody else think?

I always felt people get too caught up in the robot and don't see what really makes the teams function so well is the organization itself. - Koko Ed [more]
