Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

I do believe I just saw Dean match Colbert. For every joke Colbert had, Dean had a response that gained cheers.

Quote of the night... "Now by mentioning this on my show, aren't you just encouraging our enemies to build 6 story buildings?"

Or something along those lines :p that was awesome, I'm glad I DVR'd it :cool:

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

Dean: We encourage kids to learn about science, technology....
Colbert: And does that include creation science?
Dean: .... Well we teach kids to be very creative.....

I vote this belongs in the spotlight. Heh.

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

I was quite impressed with the interview. More FIRST then I expected and Dean was funnier than I expected.

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

Agreed. Colbert was great, Dean played along well. FIRST got promotion thank heavens... any chance that Stephen could be at Atlanta this upcoming season??? Time to start sending invitations... ;)

AWESOME!!! (in conclusion)

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

A great interview with Dean tonight. Quite possibly one of the best outings from Dean that I've seen in a while. He was very lively, funny, and quick with a response. I think we need Colbert prompting him at the awards ceremonies. (HA!)

As far as products and projects, Dean talked about the IBot, FIRST, and a soldier "vertical assist" device, as well as mentioning the Dialysis Machine and Insulin Pump. Quite a bit to discuss in a 5 minute interview. I'm sure someone else will post a full transcript about it, so I'll end my play-by-play here.

Anyways, I'm glad I stayed awake for it. I highly recommend finding a way to watch a recording of it.

I totally agree!!!! I think everyone got a kick outa that there. Who knows what we will be doing in robotics in years to come... especially if he keeps making crazy suggestions like that lol

That was awesome! :D


I can see it now....

FIRST Email Blast: Attention FIRST Teams!

Due to recent events that have come to our attention, we are releasing the 2007 FRC game early. Your task will be to launch your human player to the top of a six story building. We're extremely sorry, but the FIRST offices will be closed while we add two more floors to our building. Thanks!

Go Teams!

:p

Anyone have a URL to this yet?

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

It sounds like it was good. I recorded it because I was at the Rutgers game tonight. I'll probably watch it sometime tomorrow.

=] go dean! [and colbert, of course...] what a great show. glad i taped it.

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

Haha, I thought Dean was going to get pwned by Colbert.

Re: Kamen to appear on Colbert Report?
 

OMG i was flipping threw the channels and stopped when i heard dean's name !!!
great timing i might add . Now we just need to not only get Colbert as a guest but as an announcer or going around and interviewing teams !!!
