MORT on the Today Show

[StephLee]

That's a pretty awesome (and hardcore) way to do Dean's Homework! Way to go!

[cziggy343]

yeah! way to go with your h/w! get the today show in it

[DonRotolo]

Bravo guys, that's the way to do it!

For the rest of us: We need a 15 second "elevator" sppech so that when someone asks "So what's a robotics team?", we have a well-rehearsed and informative "sound bite". Works with grandparents, too...

it was funny, we expected him to go for a question from one of us who was wearing a uniform, so the girl who answered just spoke on the spot We're planning a lot more with NBC and the Today Show so we'll keep you guys posted

Yeah, let us know when you're going, so that we can watch it live...or maybe we could organize some more NJ/NY teams to meet there, and have there be so many of us they can't help but see us...maybe bring a robot or two...

Great Job! Its always fantastic to see teams really doing the homework during build season. Put the clip on youtube and let the world see it !

[Chrisms]

thanks guys. Your responses made the trip worth it that much more.

it was something to see about half the team (around 30 kids) (the other half woke up early (but still later than us) to continue building) wake up on their day off, at 2 in the morning for this.

We'll keep you guys updated for sure!

My principal called me in yesterday morning and told me about a FIRST team that was out in the cold on the TODAY show. He commented on how excited the team seemed and how great it was to see the kids on the TV talking about FIRST.

Great Job.

[MiniNerd24]

I saw it and was shocked, way to go!

[Psychoflood]

This was really an amazing experience and i'm so glad that i got to help do Dean's homework. I encourage all teams to do something like this, a little bit of planning and a lot of dedication can go a very long way, and there's no better feeling than knowing you were not only doing Dean's homework, but spreading the news of FIRST nationwide.

[JudyVandy]

Didn't see it 'in-the-flesh', but had lots of friends who did and told me about it.

Great job, Mort! Keep up the good homework.

See y'all in February!

Hey, i have an idea, how about all the local team around jersey do that again, at the same time. We can take up all the space at NBC and they will NOT be able to miss us. we will be everywhere.

When we went on monday, our team could have taken up like... half the fence i would say? but we wanted to be a team so we bunched up. If we could organize a mass trip to the Today show, i would be happy.

OMG LETS INVITE DEAN. heehhehehehehe.


(btw, i'm the one to the right of the girl with the white jacket, RIGHT UP FRONT. hehehe
