Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
 

By far one of THE best pieces on FIRST I have ever seen. It definitely captured the essence of what this stuff is really all about.

Congratulations to 159 and 812 and kudos to the producers.

IF anyone is able to upload this video it would be a great tool for teams to use in their efforts to promote FIRST locally.

I was so excited, I caught the end then rewound to watch the beginning. And not only were our alliance partners in it, 177 was too! You could see our robot, and if you looked behind it, me and my brother in the driver's station! :ahh:

I feel so famous! Plus I know the guy they interviewed who's going to MIT, and saw a few frames of one of my classmates next year. Sweet!

This segment was amazing, and captured everything FIRST is about. It was really, really well done. Awesome work to 812 and 159. You really showed why we do this.

I was very impressed by the accuracy of the report. I only noticed the one mix-up of calling it nationals instead of championship (the national event featuring teams from multiple countries). And I was thrilled at the final concentration of the piece, the GP on Einstein

This was probably the best special on FIRST, and I've always been a harsh critic of most.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
 

How about the "rubber balls" :p

Can't expect journalists to get their facts right, wait.... thats their job :ahh:.
Other wise it was really well done and enjoyable to watch.

I just assumed that they weren't allowed to use the real name, you know? Trademarks or something, but whatever, close enough

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
 

Ding ding! Trademarks are only supposed to be used if they are the main topic of the story. (aka if you're doing a story on tissues you wouldn't say Kleenex)

I got the segment courtesy of Kyle Fenton, and have uploaded it to our team site, since the yousendit will only stick around for 7 days.
