This just reminded me of something that I had forgotten. We had our Liberal Arts Science Academy (LASA) Showcase this past week for prospective 9th graders for next year. One of the students was over at our demo talking to some of the team members and the dad started asking me questions. He asked if we were like battlebots. As I started to talk a little bit about the team, his son overheard and said, 'DAD, this isn't about battlebots, this is about robotics!' I laughed.
