But isn't that what outsiders think about ANYTHING they aren't personally interested and excited about? For example, when I was at GENCON last week, I had my first run in with cosplay. Why would anyone get so passionate about a costume? I don't get it, but I don't have to! It's what they enjoy. So, more power to them.
It's the same with FIRST. There are many rookie parents and students who don't get my passion and interest in robotics. Heck, my principal doesn't even get it. Most of them begin to understand after they attend their first event. You have to admit, from the outside looking in, we are an odd group of people.
