used to participate in FIRST.

I was doing a binge read of all the XKCD What-If's. And to my surprise I found this....

Robot Apocalypse
What if there was a robot apocalypse? How long would humanity last?
—Rob Lombino


Before I answer this question, let me give you a little background on where I’m coming from.
...
I spent my teenage years participating in FIRST Robotics, programming software bots to fight in virtual tournaments, and working on homemade underwater ROVs. And I've watched plenty of Robot Wars, BattleBots, and Killer Robots Robogames.

Just a little tidbit.
