Re: NASA should broadcast matches
Other than the Championship (which usually gets cut off...) does NASA broadcast any other events on tv?
Anyway, if I were FIRST and was serious about spreading FIRST's message, I would webcast them and play them on usfirst.org. Not to knock the webcasts that we have had in the past, but they are not always of the best quality and aren't 100% reliable. I'll still watch them, but how many people not deeply invovled with FIRST does?
If the presidental inaguration, NBC's Sunday night football, NCAA tournament, and the Olympics (from China) be webcasted live with near tv quality, why can't FIRST? Maybe you could create a real nice player that includes team rankings, rules and links that explain FIRST. If I was a potential sponser, mentor, student, government official and I was showed a live, high quality, professional looking webcast, I would certianly be more impressed than a low quality ustreamtv link.
Again, I'm not being critical of the people and teams that spend plenty of time providing webcasts. Instead of providing webcasts to FIRST teams and people who cannot make competitions, webcasts could be used to introduce people to FIRST. I don't know all the inner-workings of FIRST, but I think this is something they should do.
