Re: Getting Robotics Recognized as a State Sport
I know Governor Rick Snyder loves STEM and even came to the State Championships last year and saw what FIRST is all about. I would recommend trying to contact him (potentially through one out the Board of Directors for FIRST In Michigan) to push this through.
francois.castaing@gmail.com <-- Chairman gail.alpert@gmail.com <-- President and Secretary They might be pretty busy during the season, so you may have to wait for off-season. Good luck! Ps. I think I can speak on behalf of Crevolution down in Sterling Heights and say we support you in this endeavor. |

Re: Getting Robotics Recognized as a State Sport
Not to flame, but what does everyone hope to achieve by having robotics recognized as a state sport?
I've seen some posts were some added recognition would be nice, but I'm unclear as to what the overall gain would be. Money - sponsors for that Work time and space - we already have that Glory - Yeah other sports have that above us, but chess isn't has glorious to most people as football either. FRC does rank higher for a lot of tech schools. Just curious, and I'm sure others are too. |
