FIRST Robots to Lead Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade

[cgmv123]

CBS's coverage is generally inferior because NBC has the better camera angles as the parade's official broadcaster.

NBC had the opening with robots. Al Roker was the host at the starting line. I'm sure the opening will be up on the web soon enough. It was very quick. You could see 25's robots on the left, then showed 1477 cutting the ribbon to start the parade.

I'm watching on CBS though... here NBC is broadcasting Detroit's parade...

I couldnt see the Macy's one anywhere else.

They just showed the robots pass through Herald Square, 180's tall robot was front and center!

That's why only NBC can officially call it the "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."

Snoopy was the first balloon, he just passed through Herald Square as well, behind the robots.

The robots finally made it the Macy's. I finally saw the bots close up instead of from a long way away.
Looks like at least one had to be pushed.
Congrats to all. Now go get warm and enjoy your Thanksgiving day.

I hope someone recorded the NBC broadcast cause the CBS one didn't show squat (Might as well have been watching a never ending infomercial). I really wish I got an NBC station where I am... >_>

Does anyone have a recording of the beginning of the parade? I was watching the wrong station and missed it...

They had a banner in front of the teams that stated," First Teams With Robots."

Sort of right, I guess.

Its direct.

And to everyone asking for a video, I think my parents DVR'd it, so I'll check on that soon and possibly get a video....only issue us if NBC takes it down.

At least FIRST was capitalized (actually it was all caps, FIRST TEAMS WITH ROBOTS)

Here it is for those that missed it. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the video.

Worked for me. Great video of the robots at the end! (Spoilers though! )
