I strongly believe that robotics is a sport. It has developed into my sport. I personally am a very athletic person and I had plans of playing soccer in the fall, basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring. But when I started high school I discovered robotics, and needless to say I was hooked.
So I still played soccer in the fall, but abandoned playing basketball or baseball because it conflicted with robotics, and I'm not even playing soccer this fall because I want to focus on robotics.
Ok so anyway, I think that robotics is definetly a sport, just not so much a physical sport as a it is mental one. There are some minor fun physical aspect to the game which do take skill, but a majority of the skill come from the head.
So anyways, our school has spirit week next week, and monday is sports day. So I'll be wearing my team shirt and labcoat, with some saftey goggles on my head and a couple of poof balls in my hands.
