Re: #MakeitLoud Ideas...

Remember that broadcast of MSC from Detroit Public TV? That's what we would want to see from an ESPN or Discovery Channel or ABC or anyone else. So FIRST HQ and teams and volunteers, let's take that broadcast(I believe some version of it is posted online) and show it to people. Show ESPN, show Google, show your local access TV station, and say this is how you can do it. Tell them about the great stories that come out of FIRST and the exciting matches and frantic races to fix the robot on time.

Most people think robots are cool. If I knew nothing about FRC and was just flipping channels last Saturday night and I saw robots shooting frisbees and climbing pyramids, you'd have me. I would turn up the volume, call over anyone else in the house and say "Check this out! High school kids built these robots and they're competing for the world championship." And I think a lot of others would do the same.
