That one paragraph of the story seems to simply be a nice way of punching FIRST and Dean in the face. Ok, so maybe Battlebots people think Dean's being unfair. Everyone can be at times. There's no need to put down FIRST. Dean just wants us high schooler's not to be exposed to the violence that Battlebots shows daily. I guess that's something Woody would be likely to agree with when he says that FIRST "is all about the good stuff [he] sees in today's teenagers" and not the bad, the violence, out there in today's society. Why destroy the good that FIRST has brought about with violence? Doesn't make sense to me. - Angela

P.S.I must say that I would get involved if there was a Battlebots team started near me that was all high schoolers, but I think there is no need for FIRST and Battlebots to enter one another's worlds.
