On the subject of NASCAR, I think I just had a stroke of genius, not in an idea for a bot, but as far as Dean Kamen's homework is concerned...

Now, despite me disliking NASCAR with great intensity for multiple reasons, I think the potential for public awareness of FIRST with this game is amazing considering the fact that NASCAR has an amazing (for many reasons) fan base.
It is all just a matter of converting enthusiasm for NASCAR to enthusiasm for FIRST. If people start setting up their mobile homes on the lawns and in parking lots near regional events, we've done our job.
Simple, though simple, has its many upsides. Enjoy them while they last.
