LEGO Club - Anybody been there, done that.. ??

My son's school just started a LEGO club which is to participate in the First LEGO League, working with LEGO mindstorm robots...

I know Grady Clay was involved w/ mindstorm w/ his boy and I had talked with him about it a bit several years ago... I think things have changed some...

Now, not to get political, BUT, it seems liberal educator types have gotten overly involved and the program has evolved more into writing and presenting a report about how we've affected the environment & climate w/ waste & trash and then there's a side project of doing some little task w/ the robot that every other group is doing too...

Seems to me it'd be more FUN for the kids to just opt out of the state/national program and learn how to build, operate & program the robots to complete tasks... Or better yet, maybe even have there own battle bot type of club.... But I don't think that's what LEGO is in to...

Big Hero 6, here we come !!!
