I called the phone number listed on the TLC-Junkyard Wars site.

Basically, the producer (Andrew Greenberger) told me that he was very familiar with FIRST. In fact, it seems he was involved in a documentary about FIRST a couple years back (I don't know if it ever aired on TV, but it featured an all girls school from Philly and the TechnoKats -- I have seen parts of it, but never the whole thing).

Anyway... He knows about FIRST.

Also, he said that they have not even sent out applications at this point. They should be going out soon.

One drawback to this whole deal is that the competition will be held on the left coast some time in Feb. Not exactly the least busy time for a potential FIRST team interested in testing the waters. Ah well...

... Maybe after I retire...

Joe J.
