Insulting To First?
Ok, if you have been keeping up with the posts, I recently put up a post about FIRST being on tech TV today. When I watched it I was frustrated and ticked off at Tech TV!

In the beginning they show it (in a negative way) as a rave for nerds, then for some reason they show a human player missing the ball into a goal! Why did they do that?????? Then came the thing that really ticked me off,

Quote from the reporter (and he reported this in a serious matter, not jokingly) After woodie was talking about the goals of FIRST..... "The hope is to get kids to look up to nerds, I mean engineers.........."

Though I consider my self a nerd, a lot of people take that term "nerd" as a negative term.

Overall I believe that this report on FIRST robotics was very inappropriate, and that FIRST was depicted wrong.

So I want to know you thoughts on this,
Tyler
