Re: FIRST FCC: A Sport or Not?

Sports involve cardiac exertion, where blood gets pumping and the mind has to focus in spite of the limbs screaming for no more. Thus, FRC isn't a sport. If anything the stress of it can take years off of our lives should we over involve ourselves. It also cannot replace a regular workout to keep one's health in check like most sports can. It's definitely something beyond a "club competition", but sport it is not.

I'd recommend anyone who's considering it to get a class ring with the FIRST logo on it. My varsity jacket from high school football has been gathering dust in my closet since my freshman year of college, yet I'm out of college 4 years now and wear my college class ring several times a week.
