New Web-Show! Guest Karthik kickoffs First Updates Now

[Michael Hill]

Favorite Jordans?
Does the H&M store staff know you on a first name basis?

[dodar]

Dean Kamen or Woodie Flowers?

[Duncan Macdonald]

1 second question:
Which past FIRST game would you like to play another season of (current control system, motor allowances, knowledge base, etc) if any?

>1 second question:
Battlebots has shown that you can broadcast a robotics competition with less than 9 minutes of gameplay per hour and draw a respectable audience. As an MC and game designer for robotics competitions, should creating a broadcast-able product be priorities for FIRST or VEX in an attempt to change culture?

I'd encourage more people to call in for future episodes...not every day that you get to play Rando Calrissian (is that right?) against one of the coolest people in FIRST. I had a great time, and I'm looking forward to my 1114 shirt arriving in the mail...thanks Karthik!
