I hate to dig this thread up from the depths, but I figure since tv to internet recording has become simpler, I'd give this another shot. I know people have mentioned they saw the short, but for those of you that didn't, I included the script below.
Tonight, about 10:50pm EST I fell over it for the first time. If someone wants to reach out and record it (hey, west coasters - it's on between Life with Derek and Suite Life of Zach and Cody) that'd be great.
To be honest, I don't normally watch them, but what caught my eye was the bright red tetrahedron! I even ran upstairs to wake up my parents to show them (they didn't appreciate it as much as I did).
So, onto the script:
Quote:
Boy: "Daniel is a member of a robotics team at school that designs, builds, and competes in national robotics championships. It says he's the team's computer programmer and designer. He builds a model of the robot on the computer, and then helps the team bring it to life."
Girl: "Looks pretty complicated!"
Boy: "Daniel and his team members get to work with professional engineers and scientists who are experts in robotics."
Daniel: "One of my heroes is Dean Kamen. He's invented lots of things that help other people. One of the things he's invented is the portable dialysis machine. He also designed the pacemaker that's in Cheney's heart right now."
Boy: "When Daniel grows up he wants to help people too. He hopes to someday design a remote-controlled robot that would help people who can't move to do daily activities, like brushing their teeth or going to the movies."
Girl: "Now that would be one cool robot! Keep on designing, Daniel!"

Congratulations to the Beach Cities Robotics, and specifically Daniel for getting the word out there about FIRST in a big way! I'm glad Disney is still showing this clip. =)
(and sorry for digging up an old thread!)
