Re: robotics as an official sport

this is something I have spoken quite strongly before but I will do it again.

Im a full time athlete (gymnast) im in the gym 4 hours a day every day all year. I travel all around for meets and spend many hours training elite.

I go to robotics every day untill I have to leave for gymnastics. My schedule goes like this

2:30(end of school) - 5:00 Robotics

5:30 - 9:30 Gymnastics

As you can see i spend quite a bit a time at both; therefore can speak as a full time athlete and firster.

Robotics is challanging fun, exciting, and sportlike. But it is by no means a sport. It getting recognized as a sport would be a joke to me. Its just not a sport.

Now this changes when it is a "sport" for reasons of school funding, school hours, and free shirts stuff like that. But when I hear stuff like this state made robotics a sport it actually slightly angers me because Robotics is so much more then what a sport is.
