BSMFIRST is on a distinguished road
Do you think that FIRST would be much more popular without BattleBots? Do you think the public would have a greater appreciation of engineers without BattleBots?

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.
