Wrong sir....
How does BattleBots not allow gracious professionalism?
All the competitors agree with the rules and they're cool if their bot gets beat up. Outside the arena it's exactly like FIRST, everyone shares parts and helps out in the pits.
Many former and current FIRST participants are involved in BattleBots. This includes myself, the builder of the heavyweight champion, a former middleweight champion, founders of BattleBots IQ one of which is a Woodie Flowers Award winner, and tons more.
The most compelling reason for a FIRST team not to do BattleBots & FIRST at once is time and money; neither are cheap or easy but they're both hugely rewarding.
