 Our job as mentors isn't to teach them how to make a robot...It's to teach them that there is value in technology and being among the people who create it. - Andy A. [more] |

Re: FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27
A series? Pinch me. And hey, maybe we'll be on TV.
Are they at all looking to air it more widely (excepting YouTube)?

Re: FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27
This has been in many minds dreams. I know I talked about "it would be cool if FIRST had its own show on TV" over dinner with family, friends, and yes even on a date lol. Thank you Jim for making this come out of everyones heads and into the real deal. Graphics look good and will be great for FIRST publicity.

Re: FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27
Congrats Jim!
I have watched state champs before and they know their stuff. I wonder how the format will be. Especially if it's during the 6 weeks. (some previews of the killer bees perhaps?  )Thanks again Jim! It's a wonder how you have time to sleep! Killer bees, OCCRA, Chrysler, and now this!

Re: FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27
I just watched it! It was awesome! It got side tracked a little on lawrence tech, but it was good none the less!
And then I saw the interview with me and it gave me a surprise! I didn't expect to see me on tv!

Re: FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27
For anyone who did not get to see the program, the video is now posted to YouTube at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_Cm...ature=youtu.be This initial spot was a, "What is the Sport of Robotics?" episode. The producer has an affiliation with Lawrence Tech U, so the LTU tie in is natural. The proposal for the series is to do an FRC focused premier show week zero, covering the new 2015 game rules, strategy, and highlight some teams and their machines prior to the start of competition, then weekly "sports desk" coverage of highlights of district events played each week, and finally a State Championship special. I think this will be great. Feedback on the pilot show is welcome from anyone in the FRC.

Feedback:
Cool to see our robot in action. They mistyped Team 0862 (Lightning Robotics) as 8620.

Re: FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27
During one of the student interviews, the student said that he knows what he wants to do now, and is going to Kettering.
So much for the LTU sponsorship.  In full disclosure, I'm a Wayne State Grad.... Nice to see LTU doing a better job recruiting these kids. Interesting how this robotics stuff evolves and competing, Vex and FTC, Lego League and Robofest.
