CHCH Tonight (team 1114)

[Karthik]

The team just taped a 6 minute segment that will be airing on CHCH's (Cable 11 for most of the GTA) "Niagara This Week" on Saturday April 5th at 7:00 am and 6:30 pm, and on Sunday April 6th at 7:00 am. It seems as though the local media is finally catching on to the excitement that FIRST has to offer.

Yea we got lucky in Chicago and ended up on ABC evening
news for about a 45 second tape clip when we running
serious hurdling at Midwest.

think of it as 3 x 15 seconds of fame.

Good job 1114 we need all the publicity FIRST roboteers
can get.

The segment is already available for online viewing here. You'll need to jump ahead to the 6:22 mark for the feature.

Wow thats a lot of hours spent on the bot. Great job spreading the word of FIRST.

Although I had expected a different repsonse for 11:08

Reporter: "Now thats dedication. Ultimately what is it all for?"
Greg (Coach): "For that trophy and being the world champion"

heard the coach say something about 7 days a week and until 3 am and around the clock some days, hope my boss at the other station doesn't see that! I'm trying to get out of these 13-18 hour shifts

I had no idea CHCH was doing a feature, they did a report earlier in the week so I guess they liked the story....in today's news getting 6 minutes is good! 1:30 to 1:40 is usually as good as it gets which in many cases is never enough to tell the story properly.
