"You know what's sad? If someone from our school entered the Battlebots competition and got eliminated the first round, they'd probably get more attention than us. It's all a publicity thing."

I am a freshman in my school. I built a battlebot that competed in the most recent battlebots competition (November) and got eliminated in the first round. I wanted to try to start a first team when I got to high school and learned that a teacher was already getting it done so I joined. I am still asked without provoking anyone about battlebots (over two months after the competition), and yet not even once have I heard anyone ask or talk about FIRST. (although if we actually had an established team that could show off a completed robot it might be different)
