Superbowl + will.i.am + FRC hat

[MHSrobotics2853]

Did anyone catch the lyrics he sang during "where is the love"? Sounded like the lyrics were different from their original song; could that have been the reference? It was just before he said "First things first".

Look at the bright side: FIRST has no reason to keep that hideous splash page!

We still got a build season to go through people. Complain about the guy when everyone packed up and leave St. Louis. This shouldn't ruin your mood.

Yes, but they are carrying flaming tubes in the shape of the first logo.... with red white and blue flames....

So wait, what is/was the splash page for?

Haha I completely agree.

Before everyone gets "irate":

I wasn't expecting him to bring up FIRST, especially when everything is organized by some Super Bowl committee, and there's a tight schedule everyone has to follow. He had obligations to entertain the crowd, and it would be difficult for him to do anything more than give his "First things first" shoutout.

And Dean Kamen was trying to get him to wear the hat, but at no time did will.i.am specifically agree to it. I'm pretty sure Dean was simply hoping for some free publicity by pressuring will.i.am in public.

I did and I hope to listen to it again. I'd like to see how the FIRST logo scrolled across his helmet. In another thread, there is discussion about that. I didn't see it, somehow.

Also, apparently the FIRST logo went across his helmet

So hopefully it will be gone tomorrow.

Agreed, can we take it down now? Like, NOW?

This. I heard 'something something educated, something something innovators, first things FIRST'.

Who knows? I'd like to see a transcript, and perhaps a picture of the alleged FIRST logo. I was too excited about FIRST things FIRST that I must have missed it!

Edit: Here's a link of the logo 'sighting' from a friend's twitter... again, I'm not going to agree until we hear something official. http://twitpic.com/3x9t8o

Also, could you PLEASE stop raging/trolling/whatever it is angry people do on the internet? He never promised he was going to say anything. It was just an idea and a hope.

Um... The logo was scrolling across his helmet every few seconds.

I can't believe no one here saw it..

For paying nothing I think FIRST got some pretty darn good advertising.

For everyone complaining, will.i.am fit pretty much as much FIRST related stuff into that preformance as he could without disrupting the flow of the show or turning it into an advertisment. I commend him in his effort.
