chris-

yes, FIRST robots tend to be more sophisticated in some ways, but battle bots always seem to look nicer (like cleaner and slightly more proffesional). now, we all have to remember, each robot is designed for a different purpose, so each will do one thing great, and pretty much suck at others. for instance, i've never seen a battle bot that could pick up soccer balls as well as RAGE, but i've never seen a FIRST bot that could tear a battle bot apart as well as some battle bots (i forget all their names). so, even if a FIRST bot has 1,000 engineers behind it, a battle bot with a crazy guy behind it still has a much better chance at winning. it's just the way they're designed.
