Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

Congratulations to team 79! I got off work at 8, but I saw the part where the child saw his room. That looked so amazing!!! I wish I had a room like that. My dad told me something about a 130 lb. robot? I guess it was that arm I saw? Anyways, I'm really happy for you guys having the opportunity to do something like this. Again, congratulations!

Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

I found this show to be the most touching episodes of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Congratulations to everyone involved!

I want to extend my extreme appreciation to everyone involved with FIRST who pulled this event off. This young man has an excellent room filled with great robots built using the VEX robotics kit. I hope he can become apart of a local FIRST team and with his scholarship from the University of South Florida become an exceptional engineer.

Team 79, your team represented the spirit of FIRST with elegance. Everyone in FIRST is proud of you and thanks you for your participation in such a worthwhile cause.

Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

I've only seen Extreme Makeover: Home Edition once before, and this was truly amazing!
Those people seemed so deserving... And it's great that you guys lent a hand! (Or arm...)
I hope that we'll get to see more of 79 on the "How'd They Do That?" Episode- I'd love to see exactly what you guys did!

Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

I saw a bit of the show -- I think it was from 7-9 instead of 8-10 like I was told... so I only saw small bits where they showed the one room. Excellent job! You guys should be very proud of yourselves. I've never seen that show before, but I was definitely moved.

Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

Does anyone have a video tape they'd be willing to lend me? Sadly, I missed the show, but I'd really like to see it (so would my mom).

Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

We are hoping for more about Charlie's room so that people can get a better look and understanding for that the team did. We are also hoping to stay in touch with Charlie and his family, perhaps he will join our team or something. So glad everyone watched. It was quite an experience being able to help out with something so amazing.

Re: Krunch 79 on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition date released

I almost cried so many times watching that show last night. ABC finds the nicest, most deserving people and I'm so happy for them.
(I can never watch that show with my mom because she gets jealous and complains...
And I found it kind of disappointing that the "Design Team" called 79 "Engineering Students" instead of the robotics team or robotics students...
