In relation to will.i.am's statement

When you look at first, the mission statement is to make first as inclusive and attractive to the 'average high school student' as any sports team, and keep it competitive as well. To operate under the assumption that the average high school student doesn't swear, or that in some way having a notorious pop star, who has no aversion towards swearing, swear, reflects poorly on our organization is false in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, we (FIRST) should attempt to keep up a professional demeanor, but I also think that we need to work on breaking the idea of robotics students being nerds, and geeks, because that doesn't help our organization grow.

On a side note, there is a valid reason that FIRST doesn't mic drive teams
