Don't drink too much Kool-Aid. A little is OK, and goes a long way. Too much isn't healthy.

Sorry for the minor sidetrack everyone - You may now return to discussing the Town Hall Meeting Video, if you care to.

My comparison of First versus other robotics competitions might have been tainted by my location in Michigan. We're pretty First-centric around here.

I did a little bit of google-style research in response to your post, and may have underestimated one of those "other" competitions.

But the point remains the same. There are several robotics competitions in the world. The ones that have the greatest appeal will be the ones that tap into the emotional responses of the participants. Looking at the presentation made by First leadership at the town hall, and seeing their answers to questions posed, it seems to me that the leadership has some gaps in their understanding.
