Why did you join FIRST?

[Bomberofdoom]

Our future-Mentor came to our school (pretty late, actually, in the end of December) and introduced the FRC to my class, explaining that the project involves mechanics, physics and programming, which of course, I was interested in.
I was about to start a programming project with another friend, related to image processing, but we weren't give too much help, so I thought that programming a robot and not a program on a computer would be much more fun and challenge.
When I saw my other team mates joining, I thought to myself that I was better than them in programming (guilty , but I really was) so I decided to volunteer for being the programming team leader.

I wanted to join the program because I saw this as an oppurtunity to experince first-hand, in high school, on how to work in a high-tech buissness.
There was no other place for me to expereince this, and I knew that this project would deffiantly give me something for the future.
That's why the following year I was the CEO of the team.
