I have to disagree with the thing about getting the media attention (even if the coverage is bad), a good thing. FIRST is not trying to bring in bunch of no-brainers who, for all they care wants mechanised WWF(sorry if anyone like wrestling, it's just an example). Simply, quality of the audiance is much more important than the quantity. Even this year, i've heard some distrubing comment on how some people go around saying something in a way of their robot being battlebots....I just don't think it's a healthy thing gaining attention and new participants expecting something different than what FIRST is about.
