I put out a call for help on the NYCFIRST website page

Hey guys! I'm from team 375, out of Staten Island, New York... We'd love to try and help you guys out as much as we can! I hope your team received the email our mentor sent.

P.S. You guys are great, and we know that the appearance will go well! Good luck

I got several offers for help via this forum and other avenues of communication. The NYC FIRST community is certainly generous and thoughful, thank you very much for your many offers of help!

Unfortunately, we were not quite able to pull all of the logistics together, so we will not be visiting without the robot. I'll let you know when we expect the segment to air.

Thanks again!

An update: we had a great time taping and sightseeing in NYC yesterday. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful city. Our segment should air mid-July, will post details when we learn them. Some photos from the day are here:
