While I love FIRST it doesn't compare to a physical sport in the type of adrenaline you get when competing. Now I'm not saying you/I don't get pumped up and excited and nervous and all that comes with competing but its not the same as working up a sweat and knocking down a game winning 3 pointer or something like that.
FIRST is a sport its just a different form of a sport.

Have you ever been behind the glass? Not to be rude, just asking to try and understand your perspective. Every time I go behind the glass, I get more of an adrenaline rush than from anything I have ever done on my high school sports teams. Especially in the eliminations, when the outcome can effect the rest of your season, it really kicks in. Scoring the game-winning point (or missing it by
this much) is worth even more to me than anything from a "traditional" sport, even if I don't work up a sweat.
