My friends and I can play football with a water bottle.
We can play ultimate frisbee with a paper plate.
We can play basketball with wads of paper and a trash can.

Our team has played robots with humans, with spools of wire, with chess pieces on a board, with dry erase markers, with LEGOs.

Yes, the robots are central to FRC. It would be markedly different without them, just as a Steelers-Packers game would be different if they used a Gatorade bottle instead of a football.

Yes, elegantly designed and eloquently explained and brilliantly strategized robots make our collective mouths drop.

But it's not about the robot.

TSIMFD, not RAMFD.
