If FIRST really is hopping aboard the STEAM train, I hope they back it up with sufficient promotion and inclusion of the arts. Part of me says they used it only so far as a nice pun for a game name. Time will tell.
Every other program (teams, schools, etc) has the choice to focus on what they deem beneficial to their communities. We don't intend to shift our focus because of this random FRC game title, but could in the future depending on what we determine is best to serve our community.
I expect everyone's thoughts on this will be different, but this certainly is a matter of emphasis, and no size fits all. I hope if FIRST says they are about the Arts, they back it up with their actions.

This is why Mike is one of my favorite posters here on CD - and a personal hero of mine - he takes what I am 'trying' to think and then can put it so succinctly!
