funny how folks see that. 10% of all education funding comes from the Federal Government. But that's another discussion for another day.

The thought process of our team was this: We had millions of people talking about the government funding a Death Star and had the WH reply to that petition. Heck there were blogs saying that it would be a great way to spur economic growth!

Why not use this tool to promote FIRST? It's far more relevant and just as cool as the Death Star.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
