Re: robotics as an official sport

I understand what the question is, a sport as defined by a school. I have questioned this as well. Defining the word "sport" doesn't really fit in this area as it should be considered a state sanctioned activity. Academic Bowl (Quiz Bowl, whatever you call it), isn't a sport, but generally it is state sanctioned just as debate team or chess team. The problem is that a state would have to officially choose a competition to go with. I know of area schools that are doing Vex because that is what the vocational organizations are doing.

I've considered trying to get Robotics as an official activity to letter in, but I'm not sure if it's worth the battle.
