Re: Superbowl + will.i.am + FRC hat

I must say, when I watched it through on the first try, I only heard the "FIRST things FIRST" comment, but upon looking back through it (and seeing some of the pictures people have shown), I think it's clear that Will.I.Am did everything that could be expected (and more). A straight shout-out would have seemed a little bit awkward given the venue-- but to make subtle references, things that open up future conversations about it-- that's what he did for us. We might not hear anything about it today, but I can almost guarantee you that within the next week, there will be something noticeable mentioned about FIRST, probably through some interview or other.

That definitely resembles the FIRST logo game pieces. I give props to the person who designed that hat.

Re: Superbowl + will.i.am + FRC hat

will.i.am, in one of the worst live performances, during the largest sporting event in America.

If this is the best FIRST can do it's in need of some big help.

And that's assuming people can look into his helmet or whatever and actually see anything, or understand the generic lyrics and actually find the reference to FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION. (Pro-tip: the word first is used for many things.) Can we also remember this is the man who appeared in "hologram" on CNN on election night.

I mean really guys, I come back to find CD defending the Black Eye Peas. REALLY?

Even if it's not adopted by mainstream - I think it's pretty darn cool that he was thinking of us.

What can he do? He can't outright say FIRST Robotics Competition, that would be product placement and would be sued. He did as much as he could. I am not a fan of the Black Eye'd Peas but Will.I.Am did as much as he could.

What were you expecting, Dean to come on stage in a Segway? We got it. We got a whole verse in a song. It is up to us to take it further. We can't sit back and expect someone else to blow our own horn. You can continue to complain that it "wasn't enough" or you can do something about it.

what other NPO was even hinted at during half time?

Getting any celebrity to notice us is not the goal of FIRST.

To say "is this the best FIRST can do?", well no it isn't. The best thing that FIRST DOES is lead kids into lives that will help themselves, their countries and the world as a whole. FIRST is one of the best things out there for anyone, young or old, to get involved in. We are here because we believe that we can change things and that we can make this world better for the coming generations. We don't need any celebrities to make pitches for us, pitches that would get drowned out by whatever fame the people have. Look at how much we have spread over the years! Only we can change who pays attention to us and who doesn't.

I find it depressing that people who appear to be somewhat influential members of the community are acting this way. What were you expecting? You make it sound like the man made a choice to slap Dean Kamen in the face, as apposed to doing the best he could to work something into a very touchy situation. I would encourage you to take a look back at the spirit of FIRST, in particular the "Gracious" and "Professionalism" parts. Attacking a band, person, or entity for any reason whatsoever doesn't fit under either of those terms. Ever.
