I know about the comics.. it's why I jokingly refered to it.. and many local news stations carry FIRST stories.. 20/20, CNN, World News Tonight have also spotted FIRST some space...

but.. I'm talking more big-time... Oprah, Rosie, Good Morning America (i think team 25 was on there?).. shows that aren't into showing the 'good side' of America.. and heck, shows that Mom's watch.. cause you want to know what.. 9 times out of 10 when a Mom sees something that she thinks should be available for her kid to do.. she WILL make it happen... (many dad's do it too ;-)..

Also.. if we can raise awareness among the bigger names.. who knows what could happen.. if it all started with Bill Nye.. then featured on Disney Channel.. featured more on ESPN.. more on Nickelodeon.. have TRL broadcast live from the National Competition in Epcot center.. think about it.. each team just has to adopt one 'star' and convince 'em we got something they should give a word or two about.. maybe a little clip...

Next thing you know.. it won't be Stupid Pet Tricks on Dave Letterman.. it'll be Stupid Robot Tricks :-)

hey, it could happen (McDonald's commercial.. we could make our own robot Happy Meal toys ;-)
