that was a pretty cool show!

how about some teams get together and try to get one done each year? in partner with some tv broadcast company, there could be different teams on each year even! possibly it could get on another public channel, rather than NASA, simply because NASA is not a public channel.

what does anyone think of that idea?

It's a good idea, but I feel I must apprise you of what went into that video. First and foremost, PBS bought 3 very nice Sony handcams and gave one to each team to get footage of the build season. Then they sent out their own film crews occasionally to get more build footage and to get footage of regionals. Then they gathered everything together and spent all sorts of time editing and narrating and all. Thankfully we had input in much of the process so we were able to help them express the message of FIRST. The point of all this is that it was a rather expensive undertaking. I'd love to do it again, but getting that much sponsorship together is no easy task.
