When you see a little kid nervously ask a BattleBots builder for an autograph and run off in delight when they get it...it's pretty hard to think of BattleBots as such a bad thing.

Dean always talked about creating a "professional" level FIRST competition that high school kids could aspire to compete in, like the major leagues. What BattleBots did is build the major leagues first and now they're creating the minor leagues (BBIQ.)

Also, I am confident BattleBots & Ginger will pave the way for FIRST's big TV break.

I think more people would know about FIRST, but popularity wise? Probably not.

I never said BB was a bad thing--it gets really annoying when thats all people ask me.

At this rate, I'm not sure we'll get a big TV break, but it doesn't matter, as long as FIRST lives on.
