In FIRST Robotics, robots are made out of many mechanisms. They have drive trains, flywheels, arms, intakes, elevators, etc. Programming is
important in FIRST Robotics because code is used to program motors, and sensors which allows those different mechanisms to move. Teams can use
sensors on a motor to deploy an intake, program the intake’s motor to spin so it can pick up a foam ball, program a drive train, etc. In the
FIRST Robotics Competition, teams also program autonomous features for the autonomous portion of the game. In autonomous, points are doubled

Overall seems pretty good, but I think there's potential for a better flow between sentences. I like the examples given for Why Program, I think that helps drive the reasoning home.
