I am not saying that the robots aren't innovative, actually they are incredable. I think the robots are awesome in that competition, it is the concepet. if a company sees a bunch of robots beating at each other they see "ooooh look, thats great entertainment" --vs-- (FIRST's objective) A group of technical engineers developing robots to help the elderly, make rescues, explore distant planets, explore ocean crevises, enable a person to walk again... they are gonna say "Wow, now that is a great pursuit in the advancement of human kind" WELL....
Which one would u pick?
