I was just about to say that! :) I was looking around to see if they were a GE sponsored team, but I couldn't find their website.

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!
