Well the obvious mission of FIRST is to inspire students to explore the field of science and technology. How it can be done is up to the person doing the inspiring. Personally I gave all my extra time and effort up to help get a robot done so that the students at Alvirne High School could have something to be inspired with. Whether our robot was working or not was totally irrelevant, its the fact that we had something that we worked on as a team, and it was something to be proud of, win or lose. The results were amazing, not in our rankings or whatever, but instead in the reaction from the students. Everyone was proud to have had anything to do with our robot eventhough we never even broke the top 16 or got picked. To me, thats inspiration!
Good Luck Jon,
Andy Grady, DWC/Alvirne HS team 42

In no way is my team a powerhouse but we're striving to compete among the top competitors and in my opinion that's a start. - rcmolloy [more]
