Battlebots I.Q.- A serious threat to FIRST or a half thought up cheep copy?

I agree with Digo on this one. It seems to me that FIRST and Battlebots are totally different things. Battlebots was made to build machines to go beat each other around for fun. It's cool (at least for a while). FIRST was made to inspire students about engineering and technology in general. Battlebots will probably never compare to the amount of learning that is in FIRST.

Even if more people know about Battlebots and the like, I don't think FIRST has lost anything.
