Re: pic: Battle FIRST?
I was pretty shocked when I saw this advertisement. For years there's been this attempt to distance FIRST from Battlebots my a majority of the community. I can't actually recall if this was ever done on an official level, or in any of Dean or Woodie's speeches. I do know I've heard many a FIRSTer say "The most annoying thing is when I talk about FIRST and someone says, "hey isn't that like battlebots" ". Kind of ironic.
I have to agree with Richard. It's all about getting as many people involved with FIRST as possible. Targeting the "Battlebots" keyword is just smart business. However, I am curious how those who are "Anti-Battlebot" feel about these ads.
