Re: Giving First A bad name

I'm actually happy that Battlebots is around. Battlebots gets the kind of attention that we would kill for here at FIRST and their PR people need to be commended for it. Their program gets our kids interested. From there, we tweak the kids' ideologies a bit, and little by little, they turn into FIRSTers. So as much as I'm not a supporter of the way that Battlebots runs their program and the aims of their game, I'm thrilled that they're getting the culture interested in science. If they're getting the objectives accomplished, all the more power to them.
