FIRST is not a sport. For something to be a sport IMO it has to:
1. Be physically strenuous. This means that you have to work out to remain competitive in it. (Lugging batteries around does not count).
2. The most compicated tool used is a simple machine.

In other words no FIRST or racecars.
3. There has to be direct competition between two or more PEOPLE. In other words no horse races and no racing against the clock.
4. Scoring can't be subjective. In other words figure skating and gymnastics aren't sports while baseball, football, and soccer are.
