Re: IRI on ABC

Every time I hear it called basketball I just shudder, it isn't basketball! Not even close. I heard next year we will have a pep rally where we shoot balls into the center goal as the basketball team shoots balls into a basketball net in front of the whole school.
Sigh, it will be a shame for the robotics team to show up one of our (mad 1337) sports teams. Then again it will answer the first question everyone in our school has about robotics, "We have a robotics team!?"

As for IRI on ABC that is awesome, not very long but it is still awesome.

Re: IRI on ABC

The only thing that bugged me about it were the "just"s. The fallacy with this statement is the fact that the maximum height of robots is 5 feet, not 6, nor 7. Nor do they have long arms. FIRST is a lot more than "just"s. And we're not "just" some "high schoolers," we're an entire community. I realize that the clip was only 30 seconds, and that they fit in the information in order to summarize the game, but a mention of "a group of mentors and students," as well as the term "FIRST" would have made it so much better.

On the other hand, it shows exactly how much impact IRI has on not only us, but on the media. This, at the very least, shows the importance of science and technology, for to even get ANY time is impressive.

So, a big thank you to those who manage IRI. You did more than you were ever asked for .

Re: IRI on ABC

Did anyone happen to catch and tape the full coverage that was shown on TV? Someone at work said they saw it on tv and it was longer than the 30sec... (they saw me on tv, and I wasn't in the one shown on internet. It looked like they definitely shortened it online).
If anyone taped it, let us know. Would be nice to have for IRI archives.

We caught it in the hotel after leaving on saturday and it was about a 3 minute segment not the 30 second one mentioned here. No tape or TIVO though.
