: you say 'robot' and the average person would imagine R2D2 before they would ever see a 3-foot, 130lb box driving around a field picking up kick balls..

I think this is one of the major problems with getting(or not getting, as the case may be) the coverage we get...we ask someone if they want to cover a robotics competition, and pictures of R2D2 come to mind for them...while it may take a while, once we SHOW them what it is, the coverage will come...what Dean said at closing ceremonies about the media we had at nationals saying that 'sports should be more like this'(referring to FIRST) comes to mind...once we get them there, they will stay...
