Go to www.usfirst.org then watch or skip the intro. From there, mouse over FRC and see what happens.
If you don't see it right away, mouse on and off a few times...

That's kind of funny... I hadn't noticed that and I've been on the FIRST site many times over the past few days.

You would think they might check themselves... but everyone makes mistakes.

Looks like they couldn't afford to buy the extra vowel.

Nope, they just bought the wrong vowel... it actually says "Robitics" when you mouse over it.

Well, it looks like the webmaster wasn't the only one to forget a letter or two - I found this guy lurking on a train case behind the "Eistein" field

Re: Gotta Love Typos
It's an easy mistake to make, but maybe I'm just saying that because once I printed out a nice 8x10 photo to frame for a sponsor and realized I had put "Herndon High School Robitics Team 116" on the photo... thankfully I caught it before I framed it... however, ever since then I've kind of always thought of our team as a robitics team...

Hey, maybe it's a hint for next year's game... robotic frogs... or would that be ribitics?

Re: Gotta Love Typos

Considering the site will be "un-nationalized" soon, I guess it doesn't matter. No one really noticed it and it's not that huge a mistake, it's just semi-amusing.
