Re: FIRST Robotics as a sport
Students gain Teamwork skills among many other abillities that can be applied to later life. Students work hard. We practice, we sweat, we concentrate, we wear ourselves down. We function as one unit to achieve an overall goal, and perhaps even bring home a trophy. Just because we don't play "home games" I cannot see why FIRST would not be considered a sport.
