The battle over eyeballs...

I don't really like the choices for the poll.

The question is "Battlebots I.Q.- A serious threat to FIRST or a half thought up cheep copy?" But the choices for votes don't give me the answer I want to check.

My answer is YES Battlebots IQ (and its Daddy, Battlebots) is a HUGE threat to FIRST's success.

FIRST has ALWAYS been about changing the culture. For me, TV has got to be a big factor in bringing about that change. To the extent that Battlebots is draining off TV coverage that FIRST should be getting, it is a big threat to FIRST's long term goals.
