: $@#$@#$@#$@#$@#Next year FIRST needs to, at least, make the game more violent. Or the producers will go to Battlebots once again.

Hi,

I don't think that's necessarily true...if you look at the show in context, it shows on Comedy Central. After South Park. I think that by placing the show after South Park they're appealing to people who do like violence, and that works for Comedy Central and all. But Comedy Central isn't the only station FIRST competitions can air on. The atmosphere of the current competition certainly could make it on the major networks...not everything on there is violent. They even show like four hours of *golf*, the most nonviolent sport I can think of at this time on major networks, and since they keep airing it, people must not have a problem with the lack of violence there. (And FIRST is *so* much more fun than golf, anyway.) So I'll agree with you by saying that more violence does appeal to some people, but I don't think that makes FIRST's future on TV hopeless by any means.
