I think Ill start this one off....

FIRST needs to get TV coverage more than the local Florida news stations 30 second clip......Also FIRST needs to get a writter that will be able to put stories into a paper like the USA Today, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, ect....When you have big newspapers that are known nationwide post a positive story about FIRST, that will increase the interest and audience .......Finally, I noticed how Batllebots hired Carmen Electra to help increase their auidences....FIRST needs to do that too...i am not saying get some super model, or an actor/actress.... If you can get some prominent individual to go to the competitions and stay there all day...that would help increase auidences too...Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Colin Powell, or event George W. Bush....if you can get someone like that, who everyone knows...that would really help publicity
