Re: Gearing Up! (FIRST documentary)

For those teams in the Chicago area or those that receive WTTW via cable or satellite, WTTW will be airing Gearing Up on Sunday, January 3, 1:00pm. It's a great time to get ready for kickoff.

Re: Gearing Up! (FIRST documentary)

Received this on 11/30/09 after my request for them to offer the show back in September. Thanks Wisconsin Public Television for responding to the request.

Re: Gearing Up! (FIRST documentary)

The PBS station put the whole documentary up on Youtube on the 28th. I thought I posted this yesterday, but it's not showing up for some reason?

Edit: Here's "Part One". I had all four linked yesterday, so I can just assume it will show up at some point.

Thanks for the link! I was disappointed that I couldn't see it on tv. Excellent documentary.

Re: Gearing Up! (FIRST documentary)

You can still purchase the DVD. I bought it for my wife for her birthday (yes, alas, we are both geeks), she loved it.

Re: Gearing Up! (FIRST documentary)

I just finished watching and it is by far one of the best pieces of documentation that exemplifies what FIRST is all about. Awesome job.

Addition to my list of teams I want to meet: 1583

And for those people traveling to the NH Kick-off, it will be aired in New Hampshire during the days prior to Kick-off. A nice chance to view it.

I am sure we'll all be too busy after kick-off to watch any TV for a while.
