Re: This year's "game" is a job, not a game

Using this as a metric:

You know that to people that don't know FIRST the very first thing they think I am talking about is RobotWars TM.

So for the first section of a conversation they think we are going to build robots and smash them up like Romans in the Colosseum.
I suppose we could argue that the Colosseum was very effective at occupying the Roman Empire's interest.
We are being even more humane because we are only smashing up robots.

- Point being - sometimes we want to get the right attention.

RobotWars was all about entertainment.
It did not work like a true balanced competition behind the scenes.
