Re: VEX Worlds on ESPN2 20 July 9 PM

Hey everyone,


This is a show you're not going to want to miss. The producers and crew did a fabulous job capturing the essence and energy of the VEX Robotics Competition and VEX Worlds. During the one hour special there's 10 matches being featured from the High School Round Robin (VRC's version of Einstein) and the High School finals, along with features on some of the 15 division winning teams. The show is hosted by myself, Kristen Kenney, Paul Copioli, with Paul and I on match commentary.

Paul and I were recently in Chicago doing some final taping for the show. It was a pretty cool experience, working with the production team and seeing what goes into a television show on a major network.



Also, if you watch carefully, you'll see a bunch of faces familiar to the FRC community.

I urge you guys to check it out and share it with your friends and family. If the ratings and social media buzz are strong, it'll prove to the networks the competitive robotics has a place on TV, and open up all sorts of doors for future projects.

Here's the trailer in case you missed it:
