 Maybe FIRST could get a sponsorship from Ikea, and we all could get flat-packed field parts with pictoral assembly instructions. And then all the parts could have funny names. - sanddrag [more] |

the kids in FLL...
I probably posted this story a while ago, but what the heck, another post can't hurt.
When 111 and 112 took a few bots to the local FLL competition last year to show them off & demo them, almost everyone who came to talk to us thought we had fighting robots. The students (who are supposed to know about FIRST, right?) just wanted to see the robots fight each other. student: "so are these battlebots?" me: "no" student: "well do they at least fight?" me: "no" student: "then what are they?" me: "they're robots for the FIRST competition, the high school version of what you do. this robot picks up balls & scores them in a goal" student: "oh" (walks away) Kind of sad & disappointing.
