Steve, Mike, Et. Al.,

I thought the discussion was pretty civil and a worthy topic.

I doubt it will be the last time this comes up. And that is okay with me.

I think that the topic is very important.

FIRST and Battlebots have too many things in common for us not to consider how we should be more like them or how we should be less like them in the future.

We have remote controlled machines we (mistakenly) call robots. They have romote controlled machines they call (also mistakenly) call robots.

We have tournaments. They have tournaments.

We want to be on TV, changing the culture. They ARE on TV -- impacting the culture as I type. (I know I may sound like a broken record, but I believe that in order for Dean's vision of changing our culture to become a reality, FIRST has got to get on TV. Like it or not Battlebots has gotten itself on TV.)

We are going to have MANY discussions about the pro's and con's of Battlebots and of FIRST in the coming days. This is a healthy thing in my opinion.

Joe J.
