Notice what it is that people believe to be most important in our common life on earth. If you went to the Great Exposition, you might suppose that the most important thing is to make machines that turn things, so as to work other machines, to do things we want them to do, or to make things we want them to make. If you went to Chartres, you would not need to suppose, you would simply and readily perceive that the most important thing was to sing with the Psalmist, "I rejoiced when I heard them say, Let us go up to the house of the Lord." Out of the Ashes by Anthony Esolen, ch. 2
When you go to an FRC competition, you can often get lose in a notion that the most important thing is to make machines that throw balls, so as to trip scoring sensors, to score 'points' we want them to.
