As great as that would be, in the eyes of Dean the point of FIRST is to
create the 'NCAA of smarts.' It's all about sports and making FIRST
just as much of a game as basketball is. He wants to create a fast
paced, interesting game every year that will capture attention from
the masses. It would be just another science fair if we were all
building robots to just complete a task...we're building robots that
put on a show and inspire by playing a game. And yeah, it's a shame that
robots go into storage after the year's over, but wasn't it all worth it?
