: FIRST on TV = good

I totally agree! I know that my first exposure to anything even remotely like FIRST was a robotics competition on the Discovery Channel years ago...for all I remember, it could have been FIRST! I will always remember thinking 'wow, if only I could do that!' and then learning that I *could* have that chance in school. It was a huge draw to me, and I think that getting FIRST on tv as much as possible can only make things better. It will spread the word to kids that maybe would never had shown up to a meeting if they heard 'Robotics' without ever seeing anything before. And if we have to deal with the press stand at Nats, well, it's only a small sacrifice... =)
