Re: #MakeitLoud Ideas...

Things to note already from this thread...

The YouTube idea....I really like that. If the bored "masses" got on YouTube one day and saw huge banners and a feed from a FIRST Championship event...chances are people would begin to realize who we are.

Secondly....I'll share my vision of what a Championship television show should be like...

Start out the cast with a familiar sports cast personality or a voice that america is familiar with. Have them explain and show the game animation."
Then the fun begins with a rotating back and forth between a few qualification matches in each division and some team interviews in the pits.
You could even start the program with a breakdown of the entire FIRST family of programs current year breakdown...but I think the televised event should primarily focus on FRC because it is the...."flagship program"

Keep in mind I'm sayying that logistically....I actually favor FTC...so I hope I'm not offending anyone.



The primary focus of the show will end up being on the divisional elims and Einstein. With "in the que" short interviews during field resets.


simple enough format....and I think having some FIRST alum who've created projects like this already need to take a major part in this...Mike&Justin...TheRoboShow...etc..
