Brainiac Tuesday looks like the perfect day. Science and Education are synonymous with FIRST.

And for the record, I got 174 on the Geek IQ thing.

Well this sounds stupid, but what if we made the game like a zombie or end of the world game... like try to reach a goal before the world ends? It's something that is kind of trending now so it could be something that would help...

And I think we need a viral video or something so funny that it ends up on Tosh.0 as a web redemption

Looking through today's Geek Week videos I really think we missed out on an opportunity here...there were tons of robot videos that were getting high view counts today.

Regarding Youtube, it seems that if videos were named "team xxx's basketball-playing robot" or "High shcooler's frisbee throwing robot" rather than "team xx 2013 reveal", they would pull in more views. Darpa's video titles are very generic, leaving the potential audience wide open. A title change alone could have made 118's video viral I think - especially if the change mentioned the fact that their robot was built by high school students.
