Re: Giving First A bad name

There is nothing wrong with battle bots, it just isn't FIRST, it is still a really cool engineering competition. If you are worried about losing kids because they just want to build battle bots let them drive a full size FIRST bot, that has a tendency to hook them, then explain to them that the things they learn in FIRST they can use later to make a battle bot or what ever they want to make.

I have also noticed that shooting poof balls at things tends to have a simmilar enough effect to destroying things to keep kids interested.
