Re: Sport or not?
I simply read the first post and voted. NO. Robotics is a sport? No way. Hmmm, 2/3 of voters say it is a sport. Well, it is CD, so they're bound to be biased.

After reading the whole thread, I'm really upset that I had ever thought that robotics isn't a sport. Robotics, in it's general sense, is a sport. Altogether, I put more time into it than any other sport aside from running. It had better be a sport! A lot of the posts here argue whether FIRST is a sport. FIRST is just a variation of robotics. Just like other sports and games, robotics is played in a myriad of variations. One of the ways we "play" it is FIRST. Robotics is a sport, although we don't play it like we do other sports.
