Re: Is a FIRST Team equal to a traditional sports team?
Right now, people don't consider robotics to be a sport.

By people, I mean the general public.

There are some really forward-thinking states that have high-school athletic associations that actually do recognize robotics as a legitimate sport, and I think this is an amazing thing.

I think it is extremely important that we (the FIRST community) do our best to start convincing others to treat robotics more like a sport.

There are a lot of reasons which I highlight in this blog post:
