Well, today during school my teammate and I were called down to my mentors office and we both were told that we would be interviewed for the local news tonight. At first I was a bit nervous (I'm not too good at all the public speaking stuff), but once I got into the interview I was alright. Then the interviewer asked me "How many teams are competing in Atlanta?" and for some odd reason I blurted out "Oh around 700 teams". I must have been thinking of the amount of students at the GTR or something like that, anyways, after I was done and the interviewer moved on to my teammate my mentor says "There are only about 400 teams going to Atlanta" and I replied "What did I say?" and she said "700".

Oh well, hopefully they won't use that part of the interview, my bad :o .

I'm sure it'll be OK. Remember that there are also Lego League teams, as well as Vex teams participating I believe. You may want to clarify it, but it's up to you.

Remember, it's just a technicality. What is important is that you got to go on TV and advertise your team and the organization. Congratulations :)

We also gave her some footage of our robot blocking 1680 and dumping in the side goal, so I think that'll show off our robot a bit :) . Too bad not many people here will know who the triplets are haha.

I know who the triplets are! Anyway, I don't think there are people taking notes about how many teams there will be in Atlanta infront of their televisions, so you'll be fine. :D Yay for your team getting interviewed to let more people know about FIRST!
