Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
It was really good - the best I have seen on TV so far. PBS has the audio here: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/index.html
However, their headline is: "Students Compete in Robot Wars" If several of us e-mail them and ask them to fix it, they might. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
Dave is right... and everyone who said that this is the best single news piece ever done on FIRST is right.
Therefore, it's easy to conclude that we NEED PBS to continue to follow FIRST. How can you help make that happen? Simple ... contact PBS and ask to purchase the video. We've all money on worse things. Just think, if 1/3 of our teams all contact PBS and want to purchase the video, that's almost 400 requests. You can bet, that would get the attention of the network. Let's do it: Videos available from: Strictly Business P.O. Box 473 Warsaw, Missouri 65355 (866) 678-NEWS (6397) |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
I called earlier today. VHS (I think that is all that is available) is $37 total (plus tax ONLY in Missouri). Checks/M.O. payable to Strictly Business. State the date and program you want (5/16/2006, Jim Lehrer news hour - they only sell the entire program). They are individually dubbed and sent out by USPS priority mail the day after your order is received.
Note: 90 days after air date the price goes up to $79. Last edited by Stu Bloom : 17-05-2006 at 13:47. |

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
I emailed them and asked them to change the wording. Who knows if it will work?

Absolutely awsome coverage. I too think its the best media coverage that I have seen. Definately spread the url around to as many people who will listen.

Re: **FIRST EMAIL**/FIRST on PBS NewsHour with Jim Lehrer tonight!
Hey Guys,
I am on 159 and we thought it was a pretty cool piece. For you guys, you can watch it in 3 places without breaking any laws. First, on PBS on TV or on HDNet (which the show will be on almost every day for a while), Second, at PBS's website - the link is in threads above, or at the Alpine Robotics website. We have permission to distribute the broadcast and it may just be the best quaity you can get since it is not recorded from the TV. We also have tons of footage you might be able to get you hands on. We have hours of film, over 40 tapes, and you or your team might be in the comp. tapes from the colo regional or nationals. Email me for requests. Thanks for the support and good luck! Alpine Robotics Team 159 |
