I agree 99% with you guys that Battle Bots is mostly a waste, but what you are forgetting is that battle bots is inspiring the people that would never like anything tech. Not like FIRST cant do that but this is an entertainment competition, and when poeple are entertained they want to do this and thats good. I have heard from people who are on footbal teams and other 'sports' say 'do you guys make battle bots, thoes are really cool i wanna make one of thoes' after they see im in the Robotics club at our school. If FIRST had the Air time that battle bots has then we would probably be doing most of that inspireing into these non-Techies. FIRST CAN do what this so called Robotic Sport does and much more.
