FIRSTer and BATTLEBOTer
Okay, some of you guys are making me sad.
I'm into both BattleBots AND First. FIRST is what got me into BattleBots, and I am actually working on a combat robot.
BattleBots is a sport of strategy, just like FIRST, only FIRST plays by a specific set of rules and a game play. Battlebots is more of the gladiator style game. Crush or be crushed.
The people there are so nice. Everyone has something interesting to bring to the table, even the bots that get destroyed. You will never find a better group of people to be in a pit with (well, unless they have massive work and only five minutes to do it in- then, things get a bit sticky).
I think people just need to keep an open mind. To you, it may be boring. To others, it's cool.
Like the Superbowl. I was utterly bored yesterday until U2 came on. And, I had to work through it, listening to people in the store talking about the teams and football. I don't follow it, so I was bored out of my mind.
Don't badmouth it just because you don't really like it.
Oh well-
Kat
