Re: Is FIRST a Sport

you are only rating FIRST from the human perspective

what about the robot? clearly the games ARE a robot sport, when you rate physical contact, harm and injury,

strength (a robot pulling 120A from a 12 volt battery is expending 1440 watts (1.93HP) - which is about equal to the power output of six 18 year old male athletes.)

from the robots perspective FIRST is absolutely a sport. Compare what our robots do vs something like a Roomba, or the Mars Rovers!

If FIRST is not a sport, then what is it?!
