BSMFIRST is on a distinguished road
Still, it surprises me that ppl who call themselves FIRST junkies could stand to play battle bots.

It really shouldn't! The people who compete in BattleBots are as kind and graciously professional as FIRST. Don't associate the actions of the robots with the actions of the people. The whole competition is about having fun and everyone understands and agrees with the rules--so how can this contradict with FIRST?

I'm helping a BattleBots IQ team (it's a high school competition)--their event is this week in Universal Studios--and they went through the exact same process you went through in building your FIRST robot. And they'll compete in the exact same atmosphere as you; the robots will be doing different things but the cooperation and spirit are the same.

Don't forget that Comedy Central is not associated with BattleBots; they simply pay for the rights to the match footage. So the whole "aura" of that show isn't exactly in sync with the reality of the competition.
