Re: Giving First A bad name
If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. Everytime I tell someone I'm on a robotics team, the first response is almost always "do you build battlebots?" After explaning the concept of FIRST, the game, and the 130 pound robot, we have a new rookie class every season.
