Re: Comparing a FIRST Robot to the Organelles of a Cell

This is a rather tough fit..

Ribosomes would certainly be motors.
But then the nucleolus isn't exactly clear unless it's AndyMark
Nucleus is the "programming center," I'd go with the cRIO
Vacuole holds the materials, so I'd go with battery
Golgi could be the end effector (the final shooter/ball handler)
You could call the ER the power-distribution board..
Things like the centriole, nucleolus, and lysosomes don't have very good direct parallels...
