Miss Daisy sure are good at getting out the word, arent they?
At philly, in their chairmans presentation, I heard that there was a documentary made about them. I wish all teams could be so popular with the press :D

Amazing!

These are the types of things that put Miss Daisy in the Championship Chairman's talk every year.

This is the front cover image for the Tech page on USA Today !

The 341 robot is also great eye candy.
Great job Miss Daisy.

Nice article!

Teams that garner press coverage like Miss Daisy have to work hard and consistently. If you want some tips on getting that kind of coverage for you team come to the FIRST Conference on Thursday @ 6 pm titled "Public Relations for Teams – how to get on the media’s good side and arrange for them to cover you."

The documentary was aired on PBS last fall. It included Miss Daisy, The RoboDoves, Rambotics, and the Ratchet Rockers. Great show to watch before my first year involved. The site is:

Thanks everyone - it was kind of funny how that article worked out but it all started with an unknown visitor to our pit that we happened to ambush with FIRST information!

Strange how those things happen. See everyone in Atlanta!
