Re: Is a FIRST Team equal to a traditional sports team?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, a sport is an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

By definition, robotics is not a sport. Is there anything wrong with robotics not being a sport? The real problem is that there is not enough recognition for non-sport school activities. It sucks that the robotics, math teams, and other academic activities have to fight tooth and nail for funding. What needs to happen is a cultural change that values both physical and mental activities.
