Unhappy Alas...

Well, I think it goes both ways.
We all like to think that everyone is a big happy family, and that is partly true. However, some of the violence that has been stereotyped to BattleBots can also be seen among some FIRST members. I don't think anyone can completely label either competition, there are exceptions to any rule. So I wholeheartedly agree with Mike. BB can probably be just as wholesome an experience as FIRST. My motto concerning FIRST, which I share will all rookies on my team is "You get out what you put in."

I'd like to think of our FIRST community as perfect, but I know this is not true. Which is why I find it hard to believe that some FIRSTers can be all high and mighty denouncing BattleBots. If the people who do BB have fun, and have a pleasant experience, so be it!
