[FTC]: team 127 wants your opinion

I'm not sure what a "letterman" is, (is it an American term? I'm Canadian) but it sounds kind of like the MVP and MIP awards, and I think that those kind of awards would be difficult to award, or at least would have to be changed quite a bit. How can you decide wether to give the award to a really good programmer, or a really good mechanical designer?

Then again, I suppose its probably pretty hard for all sports.

Either way, I agree that robotics deserves as much recognition as the rest of the sports, for sure, wehther or not by the same method is debateable.

I believe he means a letter jacket. There are schools who give robotics letters. I've given him some search terms to help find old threads on the topic.

Don't ask me how to get a letter for said jacket; my school doesn't do that sort of thing.

Wow, deja vu. Seriously, this has been discussed to great lengths on several threads. It usually leads to a debate of some form. Please remember to use the search tool before posting.
