I was able to contact Mr. Davidson, He declined my invitation to a meeting citing other priorities. He thought he might have time to research FIRST a bit maybe?

His main issue from a humanist position is that corporations are invading our public school systems, training future employees for semi skilled throw away careers. He feels the robotics program is simply "candy".

After speaking with him I don't believe I would want to convince him otherwise.
We agreed to disagree.
