Team 1114 on Discovery Channel

Since before the Championship Event, Team 1114 had the opportunity to be profiled by Discovery Channel Canada. The documented the lead up to and our performance in St. Louis. Here's the segment that aired last night:

There's a preview at the start, and the main segment starts about 6:20 into the video. All in all, I think this was a pretty good portrayal of some of what goes on with a FIRST team. Thanks to Discovery for taking the time to make this piece possible. My only regrets are that there was no recognition for our partners (2056 & 4334 and opponents (2826, 67 & 4134) in those epic Archimedes finals matches, as well as the lack of a focus on the Chairman's Award. Regardless, it was an amazing story, and a great way to further spread the word about FIRST and Competition Robotics.
