Leaving FIRST for Battlebots??
I suppose nothing can change the minds, but FIRST is a competition, and hence making Nationals a qualificatory (I think I used the right word) event, I see no problem.. It's part of the competition..
As for learning robotics at Battlebots, well yeah you can learn robotics by just playing with erector sets and so forth.. It's all the other things you learn the makes FIRST different.. Teamwork, quick thinking within a group, and working within deadlines, just to name a few, are things that probably won't come up..
These are just my opinions of course, so take no offence to any of them.. But if I want to take mindless agression out, I play video games, or wreck RC cars.. Good Luck with Battlebots though, and keep all use FIRSTers in mind!!
