: : Finally, we'll have a made-for-TV event.

: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the purpose of FIRST was ever supposed to be getting on TV.

I'm sure that Joe isn't suggestting that the goal of FIRST and those involved it should be solely to seek publicity. I think his point is that Dean's real mission with FIRST is to inspire people and to fundementally change the way society thinks about technology + science. The wider an audience FIRST has the easier it is to spread that message. Just imagine the number of people who might channel surf upon FIRST, especially students, and go 'Hey wow that's really cool I'm gonna look into that.' That means more people getting involved with FIRST teams, which means more lives being changed, and each person FIRST reaches is one step closer to that ultimate goal of Dean's to change the way...not just those in FIRST think about science, technology, and engineering but the way poloticians, parents, teachers, everyone thinks about it and realizes it's importance and ability to raise the quality of human existance.
