I just watched this short video from YNN. It was pretty good, aside from the minor mistake of "During the last six weeks each team had to incorporate the Microsoft Kinect into their robots for the event." It was great to see my team (578) shown twice cheering from the sidelines, our robot (Darth Raider) briefly. One of the scenes showed my daughters (future team members) cheering.

YNN also did a brief live broadcast Saturday, including my son (sophomore on our Electronics subteam) describing the basic electrical components of FRC robots. I didn't get to see it, since we were all busy. I'm going to try to find the footage, maybe link it here. If anyone else know about it, please let me know.
