I agree, if you get caught up in the big name people, you get caught up in that materialized, TV world we're trying to steer America away from. (big company sponsorship i think is a different issue and doable)
I definitely like the regional idea though. Have team band together and see where there area lacks in teams and how to get more interested. On top of splitting costs and things, they can be helpful to one another (e.g. If one of the team's has a demo in there area, some of the other teams in that regional group could come and join them to make for a more interesting, rounded demo)

I think we should be the spokespeople for ourselves. After all, we are the ones who believe so firmly in it and want to spread the word. Regionalized advertisement is good, but I don't think it would hurt for FIRST to have a fast-paced commericial handy if, like you said, Apollo 13 or something science-related was airing and they could show it. I really think a FIRST commercial could be qualified as a Public Service Announcement, in which case I don't believe there is a cost.

I'm already thinking of commercial and advertising ideas..
