Mr Van, I don't think FIRST "lost" anything.

You say Battlebots is winning because people know more about them than about us.

FIRST IS NOT A TV SHOW!

People like to watch those fake wrestling too, and it doesn't mean that's nice.

Although I know about a veteran FIRST team that went to battlebots, I don't believe they will find the same spirit there, the same targets, the same visions of what is happening.

It's wrong talking about a "FIRST vs. Battlebots" competition. I believe these are pretty different things and shouldn't be compared.
