Oh, and for everyone who thinks the article gets it wrong- journalists who know nothing about robotics do that, A LOT. You should see our press coverage this year by the Arizona Republic. In one article, the author gets everything wrong about the competition and implies we shouldn't have won. A lot of the team got really upset about it when they read it. Such is life. ;p
Congrats to team 1405 for getting the recognition you deserve!

I guess the PR people on the robotics teams should educate the press on what FIRST is about (gives them something more to do than just design the Chairman's award).
When the first word out of their mouth is "Oh you mean Battlebots." You know we got our work cut out for us.
They need to know that FIRST stand for For Inspiration and Recogniton of Science and Technology not Fairly Intense Robotic Smashup Thundernationals.
