Yeah, its great to see a FIRST team with this great publicity, so lets not get caught up on school rankings and AP stuff (we get enough of that with colleges and it is no judge of a school's true quality). The great thing is, as Joseph M. said, is that Newsweek recognized robotics, an aspect of the school that is becoming more and more appealing in comparison to sports teams. Now other parents reading will recognize that there is another area for their kid to excel in when they look at schools. Seeing robotics being advertised by one of the top schools will entice school principals around the country to get involved in FIRST.
