FIRST Nationals on "Regular" TV

Well, the problem with "regular" tv... is they make lots of money from their normal shows. I mean, it's hard enough just to get a real blurb on a news station, last year CNN did all of about what, a 2 minute interview basically saying "so you built a robot, and won with it... good job" As for the MTV thing... eh... a typical music video changes scenes every 1 second... the viewers of that station wouldn't be able to tolerate watching a robotics event, and especially not for multiple days, at most they might get like a highlights, and that would only be like robots being broken and stuff, cause most people have come to expect battlebots, and wouldn't understand. I think we should aim for news stations, and just getting blurbs on some things, and maybe even some type of mention from things like MTV, but that would be hard, like I said they'd probably only do a short highlights thing, and wouldn't go for the game, but the damage done to robots and such.
