It was really good - the best I have seen on TV so far. PBS has the audio here: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/index.html
However, their headline is: "Students Compete in Robot Wars" If several of us e-mail them and ask them to fix it, they might.

Yes, it is the best TV News coverage I have ever seen too.

Dave is right... and everyone who said that this is the best single news piece ever done on FIRST is right.

Therefore, it's easy to conclude that we NEED PBS to continue to follow FIRST. How can you help make that happen? Simple ... contact PBS and ask to purchase the video. We've all money on worse things. Just think, if 1/3 of our teams all contact PBS and want to purchase the video, that's almost 400 requests. You can bet, that would get the attention of the network.

Let's do it:
Videos available from:
Strictly Business
P.O. Box 473
Warsaw, Missouri 65355
(866) 678-NEWS (6397)

I called earlier today. VHS (I think that is all that is available) is $37 total (plus tax ONLY in Missouri). Checks/M.O. payable to Strictly Business. State the date and program you want (5/16/2006, Jim Lehrer news hour - they only sell the entire program). They are individually dubbed and sent out by USPS priority mail the day after your order is received.

Note: 90 days after air date the price goes up to $79.

You digg (or vote approval of an item submitted to digg) by clicking on the
words "digg this" underneath the number to the left of the story.

Registering for a digg account is free.

If a submitted item to digg receives more than 50 diggs within a 24 hour
period, it rises to the front page of digg. Several million people read the
front page of digg every day.

Everyone within the FIRST robotics movement needs to be registered on
digg. digg is a powerful, no-cost tool for us to get the word out about FIRST.
The ) got placed outside the url, so try this one instead.....

I emailed them and asked them to change the wording. Who knows if it will work?

Call every local PBS station and hammer them on why they don't cover FIRST events. Please start with Chicago.

More cheers for PBS!

Subject: FIRST robotics piece 05.16.06

That was an excellent piece. It captured the complete story of what
the FIRST robotics program is all about and how it is changing the
lives of our youth. It is exactly what I expect of public broadcasting!

How does one obtain a copy of that broadcast? I have downloaded the
pod-cast but would like a video copy to use when promoting local
efforts to support the FIRST program in our schools. I am the lead
teacher and founder of FIRST robotics team 499, Toltechs.

Absolutely awsome coverage. I too think its the best media coverage that I have seen. Definately spread the url around to as many people who will listen.

[which has to do with criminal theft]

And your first response will be "but I didn't download it for financial gain, so I am OK!" Not so fast. The No Electroinic Theft (NET) Act, passed into law by the U.S. Congress in 1997, was specifically targeted at actions like this.

US Code, Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 101: "The term ''financial gain'' includes receipt, or expectation of receipt, of anything of value, including the receipt of other copyrighted works."

The NET Act directly links copyright infringement to physical-space theft, specifically shoplifting. The boundaries of criminal copyright infringement were signficantly expanded by the NET Act, and the penalties associated with it (in extreme cases up to $3,000,000 in fines and a year in Federal prison). Note that the NET Act also defines a link between the illegal distribution of copyrighted materials and the act of trafficking in counterfeit goods and services. In other words, piracy.
If piracy were theft in the traditional sense, no such laws would be necessary.

Hey Guys,
I am on 159 and we thought it was a pretty cool piece. For you guys, you can watch it in 3 places without breaking any laws.

First, on PBS on TV or on HDNet (which the show will be on almost every day for a while), Second, at PBS's website - the link is in threads above, or at the Alpine Robotics website. We have permission to distribute the broadcast and it may just be the best quaity you can get since it is not recorded from the TV.

We also have tons of footage you might be able to get you hands on. We have hours of film, over 40 tapes, and you or your team might be in the comp. tapes from the colo regional or nationals. Email me for requests.

Thanks for the support and good luck!

Alpine Robotics Team 159
