FRC to be at the 2020 Olympics?
Read here on Forbes earlier today.
"FIRST recently announced a partnership with Toyota, and Kamen said he’s working with the company to make sure FIRST has a place at the 2020 Olympics, which will be held in Tokyo. Toyota is the largest single sponsor of the event." Has anyone heard anything more about this? Sounds really exciting, even if it doesn't actually become an Olympic sport - can you imagine having Einstein in Tokyo? Would be great for the internationalization of FRC. |

So, would there be two Olympics then?

At least then Einstein would be close to water. You know, in case for whatever reason we needed lots of water.
Water Game 2020!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Rumor has it that some Robotics teams have already started planning on being at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020.:)

I'm trying to imagin how olympic FRC teams would be strong (or not)... They would get more sponsors, the best possible members and they would be trained and drilled to perform. Maybe we just shouldn't go there finally... Maybe it'll just destroy the spirit of FIRST. |

It's also worth mentioning that an olympic team might not be too far beyond some of the current best FRC teams in terms of performance. |

You guys don't really think FRC could/should be an Olympic sport right?
As someone who loves the Olympics more than almost any other sporting event... if that somehow happened (in some alternate reality) I would be very unamused. |
Re: FRC to be at the 2020 Olympics?
I'd like FRC to be counted like a kind of E-sport... Or maybe something with the same visibility...

I also do not think robotics should be even remotely considered a sport. So guess I do not exactly hold the popular opinions here. In all reality an exhibition would be cool. But FRC as an real Olympic sport. Please no. That would be degrading to real Olympic sports where athletes dedicate their whole lives to being successful. |

Is this conversation actually happening right now? Here's a few of the sports proposed for the 2020 Olympics but were not selected: sumo, squash, American football, racquetball, and bowling.
