We're about culture change. If the people society is currently celebrating (pop stars, star athletes) come out talking about this crazy robotics thing they just saw?! Well, those are some new audiences exposed to FIRST. That's the culture change we're looking for.
I think we all get that, and believe it. However - it doesn't seem appropriate to do it at the competition. I get more excited seeing Woody's reading list than I do seeing Will.I.Am perform his new song. There has to be a way to draw in those wayward souls without boring the choir.
