FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

There is going to be a story about FIRST on NBC Nightly New in a few mins. or tonight.(depending on your location)
Just wanted to past it on.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Thanks for the headsup, watching it right now!

I saw some green shirts :D

EDIT: wow that was actually a pretty cool clip. Two nice sound bites from Dean and Woodie, and quite a bit of game footage. I loved two of Kamen's lines: "we're here to teach kids how to do more with their lives than just bounce a ball" and "the goal of FIRST has always been simple; change the culture of the United States" haha

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

they said superbowl of smarts again :rolleyes: but pretty good exposure anyway

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

just saw it, awesome that theres been so much coverage lately, now all we gotta do is get FIRST as a fully televised sport on network television :p

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

It was a nice clip - saw quite a few teams I recognized! :)

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

To me that clip was just further proof that it really is GHouse, and the rest of us just live in it

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

I saw my pit for half a second. And yes, the Nightly News did confirm that thsi is GHouse's world, we just live in it.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

yeah two friends just told me about it... and they both said "omg ashley, you're on the news!" and i missed it :( man i hope they get that clip online!!! i wanna see what they talked about!!

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Still at work and just reading this announcement means that I didn't see the video. I read the story on the NBC website but I didn't see a like to the video. Is there a link?

Thanks,

APS

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Yes, look to the upper right.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

THANK GOD FOR RAPIDSHARE!!!

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News: Video
 

Thank you very much for hosting this. I threw it up on my server (so you don't have to wait for rapidshare), following the same guidelines outlined by kirkio. If anyone has a problem with it, they can pm me, or if it's someone bigger looking down, they can email me at jacob.at.work@gmail.com

If people don't think that this is a good idea (hosting it on my private server), pm me so I'll take it down. I use news segments all the time though.... they ARE broadcasted on TV...

OK, so the link is:

http://www.uhsserobotics.com/NBC_Nig...2007.05.08.avi

That should start working in a few minutes... It's uploading now.
It works.
I'm taking it down till i get permission from NBC

commercial showed team 1902 and few others the clip was pretty cool

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News: Video
 

While I'm all for "sticking it to the man" and such, this is NBC property, and distributing the content like this doesn't look good on FIRST's part. If you really want to support it, go visit the news link, get some clicks on it, watch the video a lot, and show them that people are more interested in this story than some stupid pet video. It allows them to uphold their copyright, gives them money, and gets them intrested in more FIRST content. :]

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

So me and my family just saw it... we all flipped cause me and my team made it on there 2 times haha. and my mom freaked when she saw i was shaking hands with Dean Kamen haha. oooo that brings back memories :) Gotta love FIRST!!!!!

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

what time did they air it in ur time zone cause im in cali and its still 5:30 pm

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

it was just before 7 pm eastern

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

NBC Nightly News comes on at 5:30 to 6:00 Central time if that helps.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

I saw my back!!! Thats was nicely done. :D

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

decent showing...

i saw me in the 121 pits when they were interviewing dean w00t!

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News: Video
 

I totally agree. I can't stand it when someone takes my stuff and puts it on their website without my knowledge.

HOWEVER, if you would like to host the video on your website shoot an e-mail off to NBC and ask them if you can, explain who you are and what you do, and most importantly, why you want the video on your site! They may actually say yes and give you a better quality video!

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

OK, thanks guys. I'm taking it down until I get a response from NBC...

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Is anyone else having extreme problems watching this clip? I can watch just about every other nbc clip but can't seem to load up the first one.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

nm just don't use Mozilla :-) Run IE and not a single problem

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

I had the same problem. Mozilla won't run any videos that aren't on Youtube, TBA, or in QuickTime format for me.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

i saw myself at the ending of the clip, i was in the backround

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

I watched it on Mozilla and I had no problem. Great clip, I am excited to see that FIRST is getting more media attention.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Yay! Finally robotics is getting some well earned publicity. I saw the back of our team members heads for a very short momemt. We all had blue hair! I like the quote from Dean Kamen but i have to say, we might be bouncing a ball in a few years...just in a different way :P. the news stations here in Hawaii have been great as well covering F.I.R.S.T. as well. Our team has gotten lots of news time and it is causing quite a stir in our community. Yay!

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News: Video
 

I could not get it to work with Firefox. I did get it to work with IE :( . Does anyone know why? Am I missing a plug in?

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Well, either my computer is messed up of MSNBC is no longer hosting the video. (I got a "This Video is Not available" on the MSNBC Media player) Is it just me, or did they really just stop hosting it?

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

It is working fine for me at 10:44 CT.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Its also available via the NBC nightly news podcast.

While I am glad they did this story, it's a shame they did it 3-4 weeks after nationals, so much for timeliness. :rolleyes:

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

I've been getting the same message every time I've checked.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

I have itermittent issues too, but if you subscribe to the podcast, you can get the file for free :) Yay for Mac.

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

It's interesting, I got home and viewed it again (must have been the school blocking it) but then I close the window on accident and open it again and it says I need to get such and such software in order to view it. I'm all like "What are you talking about?!? I was just watching it 5 seconds ago!?!?" :ahh: :yikes:

Tried it in IE and it worked fine though (Darn you Microsoft! Must you monopolize everything?!?) :mad:


I'd like to save a copy of that video (I'm in it as it turns out; in the half second clip where they show the hand moving the controller... it's my hand :D ). If anyone knows where I might be able to download it without installing any Mac software? :rolleyes:

EDIT: Never mind, I managed to get it working again and downloaded it using my trusty "download helper" extension! ^_^

Re: FIRST on NBC Nightly News
 

Team 1501 was on for three seconds woohoo
Love those billboard wings :)
