: Here is something else to think about...what if we were to somehow assemble an all-star team from the many teams we have competing in the FIRST competition to make a robot to compete in Battlebots, it would be right up our alley seeing that so many of us love agressive play already...then again, maybe it would be too easy for us to win the thing

Here's some food for thought. Carlos Bertucci, a member of the former Raychem team that won the 1995 FIRST Robotics Competition National Championship (in their rookie year!), went on to compete and win in the heavyweight class of Robot Wars in both of the following two years. He is now (or at least the last time I heard) involved with the online company robotbooks.com (I'm not exactly sure how).
