I missed the lead-in, but the whole story itself is there. If anyone wants/needs a higher-quality copy (for personal or team use), email me at [my username]@gmail.com

You'll need DivX 6.0 or higher to play it (VLC will do the trick if you can't get it to work )

While I'm all for "sticking it to the man" and such, this is NBC property, and distributing the content like this doesn't look good on FIRST's part. If you really want to support it, go visit the news link, get some clicks on it, watch the video a lot, and show them that people are more interested in this story than some stupid pet video. It allows them to uphold their copyright, gives them money, and gets them intrested in more FIRST content.

I totally agree. I can't stand it when someone takes my stuff and puts it on their website without my knowledge.

HOWEVER, if you would like to host the video on your website shoot an e-mail off to NBC and ask them if you can, explain who you are and what you do, and most importantly, why you want the video on your site! They may actually say yes and give you a better quality video!

Is anyone else having extreme problems watching this clip? I can watch just about every other nbc clip but can't seem to load up the first one.

I had the same problem. Mozilla won't run any videos that aren't on Youtube, TBA, or in QuickTime format for me.

i saw myself at the ending of the clip, i was in the backround

I watched it on Mozilla and I had no problem. Great clip, I am excited to see that FIRST is getting more media attention.

I could not get it to work with Firefox. I did get it to work with IE . Does anyone know why? Am I missing a plug in?

Well, either my computer is messed up of MSNBC is no longer hosting the video. (I got a "This Video is Not available" on the MSNBC Media player) Is it just me, or did they really just stop hosting it?

It is working fine for me at 10:44 CT.

Its also available via the NBC nightly news podcast.

While I am glad they did this story, it's a shame they did it 3-4 weeks after nationals, so much for timeliness.
