Go to Post Go with a Big Block. The torque is awesome and you cant beat the sound of a built Big Block with a high lift cam and some open headers. A blower would be a nice addition as well. Good luck getting past the inspector. - GBK [more]

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.

I second that, LOL.
