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.

One of the main goals of FIRST when it was started was to get science and technology to be recognized and celebrated as much and as widely as any top sport. This is a step in that direction
