Being in FIRST and putting the focus on the robot is like building a robot and putting the focus on the bandsaw (or mill or lathe, or whatever you do your machining with). The robot is a tool we use to play the game, the game is a tool we use to inspire and teach. |

Teams whose goal is to play on Einstein think about strategy differently from teams whose goal is to be selected for an alliance at a district event. |
