[Ringo5tarr]

I see a lot of people asking what's the point of adding the A even if art deserves top be part of FIRST, and while this is just my opinion, I have to say that it's probably because some higher ups where running through ideas of themes and realized that steam was only a letter off from stem, so they simply asked themselves, what can go into stem and starts with an "A"?

Now, since this thread is also about arts new inclusion and not just the controversy of the letter, I want to say, that FIRST is not the end all be all of STEM, and just because FIRST is adding an A doesn't force everyone to, and FIRST is proooooooobably going to include some art challenge within the game itself considering the paintbrush found in the logo (but I guess we'll just see in {Insert days until kickoff here} days). So hey, robots doing art is still engineering, right? So can we all maybe get along for another couple of weeks before we're ripping each other to shreds about sticking cameras on sticks? Please?
