Ya beat me too the post......oh well....i thought it was really cool even to see just that small clip, but it fit really well into the GE commercial.

Anyone have a clip of the commercial?

GE had a commerical circa 1999 (I think) that had a FIRST robot in it (from 1998 I believe). It was just a quick clip but you could tell what it was.

I saw it too! It was during the olympics. Now if only it was longer, we would be getting really good advertising for FIRST!
