Al,
Overall, the TV special did accomplish its goal in FIRST Robotics awareness to the rest of the world. As a team, we all enjoyed the mix between the concert, high-profile guest speaker interviews, and the interviews of various teams.
However, some members of our team were disappointed that we only got less than 1 sec of footage (at driver station during a match) throughout the show.
A mention of the winning alliance but nothing on the CA.
Similar to Championships, our video never got a chance to be shown anywhere during the competition.
My guess is that no one was going to pay for an interview here in Hawaii.

Whatever the Hall of Fame teams and FIRST decides to do next year at CMP, we will gladly share our story at the Hall of Fame booth.
