Re: Let's not stop with CBS
Many of you probably know that FIRST was broadcast by ESPN in the early 1990s I know they did 1995 and 1996 I'm not sure about other years. Typically their broadcast would be several months after nationals in June or July. I think that we are there when Brian Williams reports live from Atlanta on the evening news. Or when Google puts us on their logo. Does anyone else feel like we got cheated by Google? A robot relay...come on...if Google were serious we would be on the logo. Or when we get a front page story on CNN, which we were pretty close to this year.

As far as TV goes I think FIRST missed its chance to be on TV as a dedicated show back when Battlebots was on. I mean every network had a robot show, if we couldn't get on TV in that climate I question whether it is ever going to happen.
