how do you get nationally recognized if you can't go. FIRST was doing a good job getting kids into the robotic field because they had goals. and a good direction with this. I can teach kids all day every day in robotics. why should I now go to FIRST when they don't care if I go to the nationals.
My sponsors want to know what exposure they get. Yes I tell them the kids learn more meanning when the work force gets these kids they will be smarter. They are looking at the big piture When I tell them there is no national unless they want to pay at the last minute if we win a regional, they tell me why am I in a competition that does not offer that. Once again I am back to BattleBots. They teach kids if you win you get money so you can make a better robot. they teach a kid if you build a great robot maybe they will build a toy after it. Yes money isn't everything but lets look at it: BattleBots You build a robot ( teaching kids about robots) You play the game ( If you win you get money, TV exposure and More) You have all year to make robot( given kids more time to make the robots ) You can enter in different wieght classes (more kids can do more) You pay a lot less to enter. FIRST you build a robot You play the game ( for a trophie, medal) You have only six week to build the robot ( everybody stresses out) One robot You pay alot more You tell me who is not looking at the big picture. ![]() |
