Re: Battle-Bots vs. FIRST: good or bad?

[quote=JosephM]...While Battle Bots does have a spirit of helping that FIRST has, it's lost in what 99% of what people see as Battle Bots, which is Carmen Electra walking around, talking about sex to the 'nerds'. QUOTE]


Believe me, the builders at BattleBots did not appreciate that either. There's a huge Carmen-bashing thread on our forum,
( http://forums.delphiforums.com/battl...es?msg=13853.4 ) and a lot of discussion about how Comedy Central's presentation trivialized and disrespected our sport. All we can say is it was CC's responsibility, and BattleBots Inc. would have preferred a family image - many of the show's fans were kids.

Both FIRST and BattleBots teams have a great spirit of generosity and cooperation. A FIRST team will lend a needed part to a competitor - but a BattleBots team will do the same, knowing that they may never see that part in one piece again ; )
