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.
