Hulu apparently just publishes the links from Colbert Nation. And Colbert Nation takes approximately 1-3 business days to post their interviews/episodes.

Good Interview

I like how Colbert brought up FIRST instead of dean plugging it in.

also, Colbert asked if the GA dome would be full, and Dean silently dodged the question. Im hoping Dean can answer that question with a resounding "yes" in a few years.... that is if we continue to do this years Homework.

If we don't fill the dome this year, perhaps by the time we get back to Atlanta (2014?) the teams may be big enough to do it. Dean's homework notwithstanding, it's hard enough to get attendance at a 3-hour baseball game but impossible without beer. So 8 hours of mechanical mayhem without alcohol will be a real tough sell to non-relatives of the participants. Sorry, Dean, it will be easier to make those 150 pound machines fly than to fill the Georgia Dome. Unless of course someone dares to play the trump card - cheerleaders!

I don't think we'll be able to fill the Georgia dome in a few years... Perhaps the new venue in St. Louis, though :)

LOL! ;)

But I completely agree with you. It is very hard to fill an event that runs two days for hours. Expos are full with people coming in and checking out the event and then leaving. I even can't wait until the last match some days I'm tired and done watching robots.

It is a good idea and we can all definitely work on getting the stands fuller, but a full house might just be out of reach for a long long time.

if we could get them to come for the Einstein Finals.... I've seen the 100's and 200's fill up on the Einstein side. hopefully this year, we can get the 300's filled.... that is if Security lets us

That is mostly because everyone comes to see that though! But it is true that we could get a ton of people in there for the finals for a couple of hours!

You might have a chance at getting people in for Einstein finals if you can keep the award ceremony stuff from dragging the energy down. For those that haven't been there, the award ceremony is when all the speaking and FIRST messages happen.

That stuff is very good for the students that are involved but would just irritate uninvolved people that came to see robots play. Of the 2 hour Einstein finale there is maybe 20 minutes of actual robot play.

It starts after the third white increment and timestamp 16:06 if you don't want to sit through the whole show and it's extra long web commercials.
