Re: Michigan State Championship
I checked our local listings (Grand Rapids/Holland, MI) and WOTV is carrying it, but WZZM (Channel 13) is not. Saturday, April 16 at 1:00 p.m.

Re: Michigan State Championship
Team 74 would like to thank teams 3098 and 548 for joining us in the quarter and semi final matches. We couldn't have made it as far as we did without your help.
To teams 469, 201, and 217, it was great playing against you guys. |

All eight final alliances were impressive and the outcome of it was a true "cliff hanger". You wouldn't think it would be with the "Bee's", "HOT" and "More Martians" together, (that alliance would put fear into any FRC alliance) but there were many awesome teams and powerhouse alliances. Many thanks to team 2137 "TORC" for choosing the TECH Vikes and to 910 "Foley Freeze" for your valiant efforts. We enjoyed working with both of you and hope to do so again. |

Congrats to all the elimination teams, Wow! A special thanks to 33 and 1023 for picking 2137 at the Kettering and Livonia districts, and our first and second Blue Banners. It has been a story book year. I also look forward to the Nationals, and some Michigan alliances. :) |

Re: Michigan State Championship
I am wondering if the organizers and sponsors of this program are planning on putting the FIRST Robotics Competition Michigan State Championship on local television in future years or is this just a test to see how well it works?
Think I am going to have time tomorrow to watch the program and see how good it looks. |
Re: Michigan State Championship
The producer, who we ran into at the Traverse City district, said this is definitely a test. He saw states last year (I think while covering the story for WXYZ, ABC Detroit) and fell in love with the idea of trying to put it on TV. He then pitched it to the network and GM as if it was a sporting event with brains to get them to buy in.
So, he said, if we would like to see FIRST on TV again next year, we need to be sure it has the ratings. So, get everyone you know to record it or watch it, so it gets the ratings it needs to be on again next year! Or better yet, gather a group for lunch at your favorite sports bar and watch it on their big screen. That's what we are doing. Think of all of the extra people you will be exposing robotics to at the restaurant. It was recorded and will be aired in HD, so the quality should be great! For those of you out of the Michigan viewing area, why not go to wzyz.com and ask them if they are going to make it available on the internet afterwards or if they will be streaming. The real questions then will be... what tab would be listed under, 'Entertainment' or 'Sports'. |
Re: Michigan State Championship
Is there any place online I can watch the show? I'm currently not in Michigan and am going to miss it.

Re: Michigan State Championship
I checked television program listing for WOTV and it appears that the program called the "Michigan First Robotics Championship" is color-coded as a sport.
|
Re: Michigan State Championship
Did anyone record the showing? If someone did, could they post a link on CD for people to watch? I don't live in Michigan, and I checked the wxyz site but they didn't live stream it. The idea sounded amazing, and I really wanna see how the footage from atop the towers turned out XD
