...then I guess you haven't seen it either . Edit/Addition: "Programming" does not necessarily mean "flashing firmware".

FIRST STRONGHOLD (n):
  1. The most effective detector of loose connections in several years.
  2. A three way competition in which two alliances of three robots, and a 27x54' arena all violently attack each other.
  3. The first FIRST competition featuring hundreds of flying robots.
  4. A game in which the engineering challenges of creating something to simulate the defenses exceed those required to build the robot.
