I do know I've heard many a FIRSTer say "The most annoying thing is when I talk about FIRST and someone says, "hey isn't that like battlebots" ". Kind of ironic.

I have to agree with Richard. It's all about getting as many people involved with FIRST as possible. Targeting the "Battlebots" keyword is just smart business. However, I am curious how those who are "Anti-Battlebot" feel about these ads.
As someone who hasn't been able to get his head around building a fighting robot since actually building a few robots, I don't have a problem with it. I'm pretty much used to the Is-that-like-BattleBots question by now, so the means to segue between the two has become (to me, at least) familiar.

I'm just surprised that there's still lots of searches about it.
