You are asking two different questions in your post and in your poll.
FIRST, by far, has had the greatest impact on society as a whole. Battlebots does not have any depth - it is a program designed to design, build, and create a mechanical toy that destroys other things. However, Battlebots has done more to spark public interest (outside of high schools, aka). Pick a random person off the street and ask them what FIRST is, and most likely they will not know. Ask them if they've ever heard of Battlebots, and you'll probably get a yes. Battlebots is a TV show designed for those who like to sit around and watch things... and FIRST is a program designed for those who like to make those things happen. |
