Jamie From Mythbusters Interview

For those of you who have seen the Show Myth Busters on Discovery channel this is a quote from Jamie given in an interview with RC Driver Magazine. Jaime has done much work with robotics including getting his start with Battle Bots, Recently he made the soda Machine on tank treads for a 7 up commercial and The Chef boy R Dee can that followed the girl home in another comercial.

When asked if he had plans to again become involved with battle bots he said

"The sport of robotic combat has sort of lost momentum at this point. While it was a great training ground- and I think it is a great loss as far as encouraging young people to learn engineering and the sciences the sport quickly degraded into a remote control demolition derbyon a small scale. I had much higher hopes for it... ...I am much more interested in creating things than destroying them."

In my opinion First is exactly what he wanted battle bots to be. I think that some one (Or multiple people) should contact him about FIRST. I believe that having someone of his notariaty (i know that is spelled wrong) Would be an enormous boost for FIRST. What are your thoughts?
