1. Do you feel FIRST should be a recognized as a sport?
Like many of the FIRST founders say: we want to fill this stadium with cheering fans for ROBOTS not people. We WILL get that much support, we WILL become a bigger pastime than football or baseball, all we need is support.

2. Is FIRST a recognized sport at your school?
FIRST isnt recognized at all at our school. Our football team gets 76,000 a year for field and uniform and travel expenses. Our FIRST team doesnt get a $@#$@#$@#$@# penny.

3. Do you think robotics is a sport?
Robotics in general (designing robots to build cars and stuff) most of the time is not a sport. But when you build robots to compete (FIRST, Robocup, LegoLeague) it becomes a sport.

5. Does your yearbook give you a full spread (2 pages) for your FIRST team.
Our team gets a picture I think...

6. Your personal definition of what a sport is.
Competition in a certain area.


I love FIRST. Nuff said.
