are nats going to be on ESPN
 

When it was aired on ESPN it usually was months after the fact, if I remember right...

oOo ok...i didnt think they did it live :(

No ESPN since '98
 

FIRST has not been on ESPN since 1998... or was it 1999.

I definitely know that ESPN has ignored FIRST in 2000 and 2001. So, don't expect it to be on ESPN this year.

more so i'd say. where else do you have big robots driving around on a field trying to get in each other's way, balls flying in every which way, drivers with their tounges hanging out in deep concentration (come on guys, you know you all do that :D), and best of all, Dean riding around on a Segway? No where else but FIRST! :p Just shows how unique we are.

Lol, so iut's better for your grandma to stare at th television screen all day ;)

c ya down there, Phil

who's phil....

not only is the TV across the room from myy grandmother but it isnt as complicated and jumpy so she can follow whats going on... :)

drivers....
 

yea, i can agree with the driver comment you made....we do make really strange faces...just thinking about some of them i've seen on tapes of me driving....hahaha...I know all you other drivers do it too, heck it should beon TV just for the faces we make!!!
:cool:

ohm my...

and in one match we wheeled our lead engineer out while under the cart repairng one of the drill transmissions....that shoulda been on national tv

bt fo those of u wondering....it was our highest scoring round and that doesnt happen often with the trannies :)

Is it ESPN that's ignoring FIRST, or the other way around? I thought I heard somewhere that FIRST paid ESPN to film and air the competition. It would make some sense considering a replayed Sportscenter would bring in way more viewers and cost way less money. It'd also make sense for FIRST to stop going to ESPN since it's been pretty poor (IMHO.)
