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!

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.

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.

[Nawaid Ladak]

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.

Yay! Finally robotics is getting some well earned publicity. I saw the back of our team members heads for a very short momemt. We all had blue hair! I like the quote from Dean Kamen but i have to say, we might be bouncing a ball in a few years...just in a different way . the news stations here in Hawaii have been great as well covering F.I.R.S.T. as well. Our team has gotten lots of news time and it is causing quite a stir in our community. Yay!
