Re: Is FIRST a Sport
FIRST is not to be compared with NASCAR, motocross, or any other vehicle related sport. When you drive a robot, you are not ON the robot, moving at 35+ Mph and having to think about the fact that if you make one mistake, you could very well lose your life.
The reason that saying FIRSTis a sport belittles Athletes is because it says "Yeah, we do the physical activity that you do AND are smarter than you" We don't participate in the same level physical activity at all.
