Nice to see some great coverage for FIRST in the news! I read the article yesterday, it was a pretty good one.

very cool

Congratulations to ALL the Oakland County teams. Amazing group of robotics teams - pretty difficult to imagine a county with as many top notch teams! I wish they had listed the Regional Event results as well - I know Rochester Adams HS, Troy HS, and Notre Dame Prep had a great season too. Nice to see everyone do so well. That is so cool!

I think the main reason newspapers don't is because the nearest regional is in Washtenaw County (Ypsilanti, Great Lakes Regional). Not very "sensational" to say "Oakland County teams __ __ __ and ___ were at a regional and blahdy blahdy blah"

Not too hard to speak out about a regional, the only people that would care are the teams themselves, and yes, any coverage is good coverage, but it's hard for the general public to appreciate "6th place at Regionals." 6th Place in FIRST means you enter the eliminations, then again, you can also be in 40th and enter.

The layout of competitions is a bit to obscure for the general public to understand in a newspaper bulliten

Well... It's not really the lay out of FIRST, but any competition. Think about it.... If you didn't know the rules/objective to football, wouldn't it look pretty strange? What FIRST needs is some major network to show some competitions. When this will happen, no clue... but It's really what we need.

PS: Go Oakland County...

<shameless plug>Hey, want a forum that has lots of members from local oalkand county / occra teams? http://forums.feds201.com </>

Our drive team and one of the engineers went down to the CNN building in Chicago and were on Headline News live. This thread has a link to one of the interviews. We are trying to get a digitized copy of the other interview, as well.

We also got some front page coverage in the Daily Herald (the NW Suburbs of Chicago paper), but I can't seem to find the article online anymore. They had some nice photos in the actual paper

BTW, since I have the chance again, awesome job Huskies and Las Guerillas... you both made the alliance absolutely awesome! Hope to work with y'all again soon

Ken,

As a matter of fact, it is Last year, I had made a deal with Allen, our driver, that if we win the Championship, I'd shave my head. The agreement was maintained through this year, as well, and, lo and behold, we won the Championship....

And off went the hair... There were about 40 people in my hotel room helping shave my head.... quite a scary scene We also buzzed the head of one of our machinists and one of our software students that night, too. There was a lot of hair in that room by the end of the night!

Luckily, it has grown out enough now that I don't have to worry about burning it anymore!!

-Nate
