You have to kind of accept the little inaccuracies with the greater good in mind. Reporters will get things wrong and flat out change some things to make it more digestible for a general audience. Similar things happened with Gearing Up. At first I was not pleased and even a little embarrassed by some of the changes. But over time, you come to realize that the message holds up and the mission is achieved.
I think it will help all of us in the long run.

I'm guessing they didn't mention that 842 automatically qualified for the Championship as a member of the FIRST Hall of Fame because it wouldn't be nearly dramatic enough (even though being finalist will not earn you a trip to St. Louis). A little tension helps hold the viewers interests.
