Re: The media's (and the public's) misconception of FIRST

People always walk up to me in the halls and excitedly tell me that I should add an either an oil slick, bomb, flamethrower, or other dangerous and illegal device to our robot. It was funny at first, but it got old pretty quickly.
Yeah, everyone knows an EMP would be so much cooler!

Anyway, I make sure when talking to people about FIRST that I stress it is more about the innovation and inspiration than it is about the actual robots. And that they aren't Battle bots, that too.
