Go to Post FIRST Championships event is not about winning, its about the experience, the atmosphere, the people and the sites, there are a lot of amazing things to see at The Championships. - Mike Schroeder [more]

Guaranteed to happen.

All people want is wanton destruction, not something beneficial such as this.

Ticks me off...

Battlebots is on top because of popularity.
I get a similar response from most people. It really *IS* quite irksome. I don't think that Battle Bots and FIRST Robotics are mutually exclusive at all, but people seem more apt to flock towards the Comedy Central hoo-hah (the "announcers" in suits always crack me up). Then again, FIRST Robotics hasn't really been displayed on TV much (as far as I know). Mabye this walking away reaction is just a classic case of pre-judgement? With that bridge last season, there was plenty of carnage in FIRST for me! 8)
