Breaking the Three-Day Bias

[JakeGallagher]

<shameless_plug>In 2003, NHPTV did a short segment on Team 134 from Pembroke Academy. I'll see if I can dig it up...erg its not on the server anymore. I'll see if I can't find it again. If i can I'll link it. That little segment aired about a week before Nationals, and we only went because of people seeing it. They realized that those kids calling them at 3pm every school day were actually trying to get money for a worthwhile cause.</shameless_plug>
<rant>I think the reason people think that FIRST is just some three-day event is because they don't understand what actually goes on in those six weeks. I mean, yeah they see us come into school looking like zombies, and they know that some people start smelling like chain lube and such...but for the most part, they don't realize that for a lot of us, there is a deep commitment to our team that we do a very large amount of work for that team.</rant> I'll end this before I get more into babbling mode =D
