Re: Are they really robots?
I think I agree with rtfgnow. This debate isn't really that important. (Although this is a debate that I have often with some of my friends!)
What I learn in FIRST (and VEX) is applicable to the "real world" and that is really all I care about. Whether I am making a true robot or just programming an R/C car doesn't matter. What matters is the discipline learned in documenting my work and the mindset of a programmer that I have learned. FIRST has succeeded in its goal of inspiring and recognizing science and technology. Whether or not it uses "real" robots is irrelevant.
