Re: Corporations Build Robots
1. I think it does happen. This debate is brought up every year...

2. Usually topics are "hinted" at specific teams and these threads happen around the 6-wk robot "show off" period as well as after regionals/Atlanta.

3. FIRST is not about making engineers, its about inspiring people to become engineers, if not than at the very least it is about respecting engineers. ... I don't think this can be lawyered anymore than that? Just being part of a winning team can boost a person's spirit so if this false win (false because the students had very little to do with the robot itself) converts them to engineers than FIRST's overall mission is complete, right?
