Go to Post I know I exaggerated a bit, but NASA put a man on the moon with less processing than some FRC bots. Think about that for a minute. - JesseK [more]

John's post brings up a lot of good points and I would definitely recommend thinking about your involvement in FIRST for at least your first year of college. Remember that there is always a choice on how much time you dedicate to an activity.

However, that being said, my time as a mentor on 1646 during my time at Purdue was some of the most fun and rewarding experiences I've had on a robotics team as a mentor.

The three Purdue teams are pretty unique because not only do you have your college and adult mentors from your own team but you also can lean on the other two Purdue teams for support. It's a great organization and I would definitely recommend getting involved.
