BSMFIRST is on a distinguished road
Guys, this is the first BattleBots IQ competition EVER. If you want to compare it to FIRST, compare it to the '92 competition with 28 teams in a gym..or better yet don't compare them at all.

What you're totally missing about BattleBots and BattleBots IQ is that you have the freedom to make any robot you'd like. You have the freedom to do as much or little learning as you'd like; the same can be said of FIRST. Woodie even said it himself, "the educational merits of participating in First and in BattleBots IQ could 'be quite equivalent'."

And the fact is, the BBIQ team that I coached had an awesome time. This was the first robot (thing, RC car, *whatever*) that they had ever built and I could see in them that same new-found confidence that I felt after my first year in FIRST.
