Sticking with my changing the Culture of America theme, I have got to go with USA Today, but not as a puff piece in the 'Isn't that Strange' Section but as a real sports story covered in the usual way in the Sports Section.
In many ways this would not be a boost for FIRST as much as it would be an admission that FIRST has already achieved much of what it was intended to achieve.
I have already said that FIRST will have 'made it' when we get on Oprah of course, but how about this measure of cultural impact: Las Vegas publishing a betting line on the various FIRST teams' chances of winning the Nationals.
At this point, I would have to put the best odds on either 3-D/Oakland Technical Center or on Beatty/Team Hammond, with WildStang, The Buzz and CHAOS not far behind...
...Wait a minute! Didn't we have this conversation a few weeks back? ;-)

It takes a special kind of lunatic to be the school sponsor/mentor for an FRC team; when you get one be thankful. - Fusion_Clint [more]
