Thumbs up! Try to do your best to promote "Gracious Professionalism" as done with FIRST.

What this really exposes is how normalization is being engineered.

Turning robots into something people watch is how they move from experimental to everyday.

Alex, it seems like you have read my soon-to-be-released novel that is 100 years in the future, The main character's father is a freelance robotics designer who tinkers in his workshop in the basement of their house, creating robots for industry but also designs robots that far exceed the specs, and he enters his latest robot in the Robo Olympics and wins medals in the track and field events.

I hope this has safety measures around sports betting dangers as Geoffrey Hinton warns us that AI having more intelligence than humans must have mothering instincts .

ProRL – great idea (saying so with one foot in sports for my entire life)!

Yet, a nerdy name. Please have it reviewed from the marketing angle. Doesn't have a good ring to it.

NRL - National Robotics League, or even better:

MLR - Major League Robotics, which also lends itself nicely to a minor league sibling.
