-The iBot (Dean's invention) is meant to help wheelchair-bound people lead a normal life.
-Dean is working on a robotic arm to replace arms lost in battle (or otherwise).
Remember, you need to present to your audience. Medical establishment people will want to hear about how FIRST can help the medical establishment.

Actually Dean has invented more for the medical community than just an insulin pump. Between him and the rest of his company DEKA he has also invented a home dialysis machine, a stent, and an irrigation pump

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]
