He obviously wasn't talking about CD users. I think to be a user you have to be able to recite from memory every winning robot and major robot award won from 1992 til now.

AND we got to see Divisional LRI Chuck Dickerson not once, but TWICE in the video!

One of the things I am very impressed with is the quality of footage they got, while still not being obtrusive to teams or field staff. There was a decent amount of footage from Carver, where I was a referee, and I don't ever remember seeing them around the field. I wish all of the media would be that good. Often times field staff is tripping over media, but they did an awesome job with the video, and capturing what needed to be captured. Kudos to CNN for this awesome spotlight on FIRST!

I loved seeing some RAPTORS shirts in the background when the reporter was talking!

This was on CNN student news too apparently, don't know about primetime CNN

Was Dean out of uniform or was it the lighting?

It is great that FIRST is getting national attention! It definitely is a program that deserves to become as recognized as much (or more) as any other sport or activity.
