Re: Is a FIRST Team equal to a traditional sports team?

I think that if you're looking at spent time, FRC dominates sports. Or at least by my standpoint because I was required at every meeting. During the build season I was spending more time a week at robotics then I was at school. 35 hours a week at school, and at LEAST 37 hours, at the end of the build season it was approaching around 40-45. I think that the community of the kids is way different than an actual sports team. On sports teams I see more competitiveness within the team, and you'll never see gracious professionalism between different sports teams.
