Exclamation FIRST, Battlebots to Merge

According to the news agency, Journalists of Ohio and Knighted Elders, FIRST and Battlebots will merge to create a single entity called "Battlebots Undermining Recognition of Science and Technology", or BURST.

The competition will be similar to Battlebots in that there will be several robots on the playing field at once, and they will be trying to destroy each other. It will be similar to FIRST in that there will be several robots on the field.

Asked why he finally let FIRST be bought out by Battlebots, an organization that he has publicly denounced, Dean Kamen said, "Well, it doesn't look like the Segway is going to sell as well as we thought, and I lost a lot on that Enron debacle, and hey, I need dough like anybody, huh?
