"How can we get to the right people in TV-Land and show them that we could be every bit as entertaining as these folks? "
You certainly had the chance, Robot Wars has just announced which American teams will be selected for the new USRW show to be filmed in London this summer. Those selected will have paid airfare, room & board, and will receive a $2000 appearance fee (plus royalties I think.)
I doubt they would have any problem with you touting your FIRST team either, etc. Maybe that is what it will take, some FIRST team has to get on the air and strut their stuff.
Speaking of this...just back from Battlebots and Mr. Bastoni's kids from PNTA certainly did that--and my bot was on the receiving end. They also appeared in this month's Newsweek and will appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno--their bots gave Chinkilla a lickin'.
