<human>: A little background: When I was in High School, I was a member of FIRST Robotics. After seeing Will.I.Am openly support the organization, I'm surprised it still hasn't garnered the attention it deserves. Heck, even President Obama signed the Hawaiian team's robot. So here is my question: What would it take for the FIRST Robotics Competition to be broadcasted on live television? Sure there are already live streams dedicated to it on the internet, but television is a little more universal for more people. It's my hope that one day robotics can be seen on equal ground to other sports and competitive activities in mainstream America.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: What kind of process does a live, annual showing have to go through in order to be displayed on national television? Something like a new, yet incredibly popular sport.
