Their video player choice is kind of odd, though. Some computers are having issue with it, from what I'm told.

I'm also extremely surprised and impressed this somehow managed to make it all the way to a California news station (and this quickly, I might add). Crazyness of the internet, I suppose. Awesomesauce, for all!

I'm surprised they couldn't find a California school to spotlight for a story. There's well over a hundred of them.

I am suprised as well.

Why did this news channel use info from outside teams instead of CA ones? Hmmm. I want to invite them to one of our CA regionals now and show them where the real footage is!

I'd rather go back to which FIRST region is the best debate instead of that unhappy place.

Where is this tv station located in California. There has to be FIRST teams in need of exposure nearby. All FIRST teams deserve their moment in the sun.

If only our team ever got any publicity; most of our school doesn't know we exist! Well, good job and congrats on being broadcast across the country.

The clip was originally filmed by WMBD, from central Illinois. Bakersfield probably just picked it up to fill time and not have to send out a filming crew.
