The point of my message was not that FIRST does not try. The point is that they need to find a different means. (what ever it is) People like battel bots because it is competition and there is a "season" of competition. If FIRST does not start to conform to the "puplics desire for robotics" even if it is "agressive" by changing the way we play the game to competition and a real season rather than a few regionals. There is a good chance more and more people will form battle bot teams.

PS The goal of FIRST is to educate high school students to the wonders of science and technology while encourageing carrers in engineering. Currently battle bots do the same thing but on a larger scale???? Post your thoughts.
