I would like to remind everyone that I live in Florida and am by no means accepting any credit for the recent accomplishments of Oklahoma FIRST. I am, however, I strong supporter as I grew up there.

Andrew, your questions can best be answered by Tonya Scott and Ken York but there is an entire thread on State funding for FIRST Teams which includes the language used in the Oklahoma Bill
. I hope that helps.

Also, there is now another thread which also regards Oklahoma media, perhaps these two threads should be merged?


Now the main reason for this post is to highlight a new video from a PBS show called Oklahoma Horizon which talks more about the Oklahoma Regional and shows excellent video of teams 476 and 2165. Also there is an interview with Harold Holley, Regional Director of Oklahoma FIRST.
Enjoy!
