The Sad truth - Chief Delphi

If anything, I believe Battle Bots is in the best interest of FIRST. Battlebots helps to create an interest in robotics, and FIRST gives us the opportunity to participate in a robotics program. - Adare180 [more]

Please do not assume that all teams have the same political landscape. And please do not assume that just because you have access to things, that all teams have that same access.

Here in the North East, County governments have little to no power or money. Our team, 1824, covers 3 High schools serving 7 small townships (no cities). Politics are, and always will be, local. Just because we can't go to our "city or county government" doesn't mean we aren't being a 'smart team'.

Before you critisize, walk a mile in their shoes.
