Pleasantly Surprised.

Hello Everyone,

I watched the A+E Special today, after having taped it yesterday. I was pleasantly surprised. After my rant about ESPN. I think that A+E did a pretty fair job covering the event. I think that we all need to keep in mind that FIRST is a massive organization, program, with a lot of missions, goals, etc. A FIRST competition is 3 days worth of robots playing complex games, executing complex strategies. Sorry if I offend any athleetes out there but in comparison a sporting event might be simple to cover. That being taken into account I think that A+E did a good job because the focused not on just the competition or just the building but really provided a good look at how you go from, that time that every FIRST team (rookie or vet) knows, crunch time to fielding a robot. They did a reasonably okay job with the matches. I still think that they were to cut up and really created a slower feeling to them...maybe that is just because a FIRST comp is always more exciting when you are there watching a couple hundered ppl scream @ the top of thier lungs in support of robots. All in all tho...my hats of to A+E for a very nice portral of FIRST. Anyone who could make this years game look even semi-exciting/fast paced on TV....deserves a round of aplause. (come on I had to get @ least one chepshot on the came in )
