Re: Getting Robotics Recognized as a State Sport

Not to flame, but what does everyone hope to achieve by having robotics recognized as a state sport?

I've seen some posts were some added recognition would be nice, but I'm unclear as to what the overall gain would be.

Money - sponsors for that
Work time and space - we already have that
Glory - Yeah other sports have that above us, but chess isn't has glorious to most people as football either. FRC does rank higher for a lot of tech schools.

Just curious, and I'm sure others are too.
