was it pokemon... I can understand if it was pokemon, those games are awesome!
But seriously, that students would consider doing this at all during a comptition has me baffled. The FIRST experience is so unique and special, and you're waisting it playing videogames?
Walk around the pits, collect buttons, examine others robots, scout, meet new people, and for heavens sake Cheer For Your Robot! There are so many teams that just sit and watch quietly well their robot is playing! Coming from a team who got other teams mad at us for standing up and cheering during one of our matches at Atlanta (Apparently, we were blocking their view, Sorry
we ended up changing to a less viewblocking area further to the side.) I want to see people excited at robotics comptitions, because its an exciting thing!
If people want to play videogames while their at a FIRST comptition then something is seriously wrong...
my 2 cents
