Go to Post Before anyone accuses FIRST of being in the pocket of the sponsoring corporations, they might spend a minute and a half to actually apply some of that critical analytical ability that we are supposed to be demonstrating as educated engineers. - dlavery [more]

I second that.

Craig, if there isn't a team near you, don't start one. Or, if you must start one, get several helpers. There isn't enough time to do FIRST if you are involved on campus at all. (Other than checking CD... or helping teams during breaks.) Instead, find a college competition team. That'll take up enough of your time (I've a meeting for one in about 1/2 an hour...). If schoolwork doesn't take over your life, that is.

I'm not even trying to start a team here in Rapid City. I don't know where to start, the last team(s) in the area folded when NASA grants in the area dried up, and I got enough to do building airplanes. If there was a team within range, I'd be mentoring them if possible. There isn't.
