None of Colbert's guests usually have video though, so maybe they weren't willing to let Dean show any.

Having him ride around in the iBot was better than any FIRST video. Colbert couldn't hide how cool it is. In my opinion, that invention represents FIRST more than the FRC entries. The robots are a tool to motivate High School kids to build stuff like that.
I think FIRST is a big trap. They lure you in with these cool competitions and shiny robots and along the way they trick you into learning something :) - =Martin=Taylor= [more]
