Lora, I understand your points. But you are trying to say that since battlebots is a robotics competition it should be just like FIRST with the same rules, goals, and so on. And since it is not like FIRST it's bad. Well nobody ever tried to claim battlebots was like FIRST in any way, except that it involves building robots. All this means is that it is different, not pointless. There is an increidble amount of engineering challenge that goes into building these bots. Just like FIRST bots they sure don't design and build themselves. And while it may not be real world engineering, nobody said it was, or should be.
