Go to Post Because of the silly "What's the best 254 team" thread I recently found there is an Electric Sheep! 2546. TBA also says 2505 is The Electric Sheep But which team is the one androids dream of? - Katie_UPS [more]

Wow it sounds rough in this board. Ouch.

To ease the tension....

I would have to say that i have never been involved with Battlebots, and therefore can't tell you which is better. I can comment though from a spectators point of view: Both seem extremely exciting and emotionally compelling. When i see the sparks in battle bots i get just as excited and worked up as when i see the sack toppled or the robot make it to the top of the hill in FIRST.

It's mostly perspective, and from mine, i would say i enjoy watching both, and if given the choice would have difficulty picking between the two.

Rather than arguing over the fact that FIRST or BattleBots is "BETTER" i wish to only say that i hope they both survive and are around in time for future generations of would-be robot builders to enjoy.

Don't spoil either by little "tug of wars" instead recognize the strengths of both awesome programs.
