It's a truly engaging engineering program/curriculum that kids and school systems can use for credit. The program is called BattleBots IQ. Kids out there can get their teachers to go to battlebots training camps during the summer, and then have them teach battlebots to them as a class. I wish it was around when I was a kid."

This sort of thing is a great whay to get kids into engineering.
If I recall right, there has been a decline in engineers in school in the USA. So this would be a good way to promote that sort of thing.
Unless the workforce gets shipped out overseas.
