Point? Depends who you ask

Mr.B.. anyone who equates F.I.R.S.T. to Battlebots has missed the point of F.I.R.S.T.....and CERTAINLY missing the point of Battlebots.

Sorry for pulling [Mr. B's] rank--but don't you feel just slightly uneasy accusing a Woodie Flowers Award winning coach that he has "missed the point of FIRST"?????

There is no one point to either competition. There are rules and there are awards; but there is no one point. Every team has different needs, resources, and desires and this is reflected in who built the bot and how they went about it.

This holds true regardless of the competition.

I don't want to speak for Mr. B; but I'm very sure that the mission of his science program did not change when they changed competitions. He just found one competition suited his mission better. His students still build the bots and they are still extremely kind even after they beat you in the BattleBox (as they beat my robot this summer.)
