What does your school think of robotics?

[Koko Ed]

My wife had told me once one of her students commented that the team was just another way to "seperate the smart kids from the regular kids". What a sad statement and I hope the acception not the rule because we don't only take IB students on the team but the so-called "regular kids" from jocks to kids strgulling to get by in school (though they are required to show improvment if they are to stay on). FIRST should never be looked upon as some sort of adversary but an opportunity.
