Re: IRI on ABC

The only thing that bugged me about it were the "just"s. The fallacy with this statement is the fact that the maximum height of robots is 5 feet, not 6, nor 7. Nor do they have long arms. FIRST is a lot more than "just"s. And we're not "just" some "high schoolers," we're an entire community. I realize that the clip was only 30 seconds, and that they fit in the information in order to summarize the game, but a mention of "a group of mentors and students," as well as the term "FIRST" would have made it so much better.

On the other hand, it shows exactly how much impact IRI has on not only us, but on the media. This, at the very least, shows the importance of science and technology, for to even get ANY time is impressive.

So, a big thank you to those who manage IRI. You did more than you were ever asked for .
