I totally agree with Raul on this subject but I feel I need to (once again!) toss in my thoughts.
Of course you are welcome to say FIRST is 'cooler' but please don't draw comparisons (like 'better') between the robots or competitions because:
A) the competitions are different
B) you probably don't know enough about the BB robots and the motivations of their creators
As I said before, don't confuse more constraints as more challenging because it's the exact opposite. The difficulty of a design problem is proportional to the number of design possibilities that need to be considered. Less constraints means more possibilities means more difficulty.
