Re: Themes for FRC games

I could definitely live without a theme... there is enough to do without having to make costumes and decorations. But I guess the students need something to do while the mentors build the robot...

Re: Themes for FRC games

Keeping in mind this is a competition for high school aged students, ages 13-18, I don't believe a theme is the way to go for trying to rope in high school students not already involved. As I'm sure people have already said, if I was not already involved in FIRST I would not think to join a team after seeing the mid evil theme. Themes seem very childish and something that should stay in FLL, not in a high school competition. If they are to continue themes, sports themes are the way to go to rope in students not already involved in my opinion.

It also seems that the mid evil theme might confuse non FIRST people. Especially in the trailer video. We are a high school robotics competition, not something that necessarily needs a theme.
