I had multiple people come up to me at work and mention the special. I think it's going to be incredibly interesting to see the ripple effect from this TV special. It'd be very interesting to see how many rookie teams in the next few years for FLL, FTC and FRC started because their teacher or mentor saw the program.

It appears that FIRST is trying to track this type of information. There was mention of a Brandeis-commissioned longitudinal study of participants, in Bill's Blog-July 27.
