I actually thought about the possibility of FIRST marketing little robot toys, but the reason they market battlebots toys is that almost everyone that you talk to knows of them by now. When I tried to explain what I was involved in in January of this year, I'd say something like, "I'm helping to build a robot..." And before i could even finish the sentence people would say something like, "Oh is it for that show BattleBots???" Of course then I'd have to explain to them that it is something completely different, and that we weren't trying to destroy each other. So in closing, in order for the marketing of a product to work, a lot of people have to know the history of the product!!

Whew!!!



P.S. They sell BB keychains now, I got Biohazard, just because it has what looks like a FIRST bridge manipulator type arm, and it actually is functional.
