I agree with BSMFIRST. It is a widely known philosophy (if you could call it that) of the reward being in the journey. Their journey is pretty similar to ours. While they're a different age group and are building for a completely different purpose, we're both learning teamwork and enjoying engineering. Yes, perhaps their robots get destroyed in a three minute competition, but lets be honest here...after nationals ours, in a way, are destroyed too. Sure, many teams, including ours, use it for a lot like driver training, publicity, and a general tutorial for the newbs, but it no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally created. I'm sure this will stir up some opinions, which are more than welcome. Please don't misinterpret me though, I love "Li'l MOE" - and always enjoy seeing it and driving it around. Just wanted to give some credit to the Battle Bots people, as the reward is truely in the journey - one which is not that different from our own.
