Go to Post There are a maximum of 80 balls in play . If all the balls are in the goals or out of play and the human players won't throw them back in, I guess the robots might try line dancing or doing the cha-cha. - Rick TYler [more]

Re: Getting Robotics Recognized as a State Sport

I doubt schools like ours will really recognize robotics as a sport, and it sure would be easier to have state backing on our side to help with making it a sport.
My public high school was also a big football and basketball school, with teams in those sports taking home titles, trophies and all that. It's not like you're asking them to discredit football/etc. and claim robotics as "THE" sport, just that it is included.

We went straight to the principal with a letter that stated why we felt robotics was a sport and should be recognized as one. As far as I can tell, you haven't tried this yet? Maybe you should give it a shot first, then reevaluate if it isn't successful.
