Shaun's Backpack - TO BE REVEALED!
 
As some of you know, earlier in the year, our team (1676) made a deal with Shaun of 25 that if they won Championships, he would finally show us the secret of what's in his backpack. And, what do you know, Raider Robotix came back champions. Honoring his deal, Shaun spilled out most of his bag on Einstein after the win, but, with Murphy's Law at work, the webcast cut out just before it. So, he decided that he would let us unveil its contents to EVERYONE via video. Until then, we created this teaser to build up the hype: http://youtu.be/895hEob_tYw.

Have fun, and we'll see you all in T-minus 12 days ;)

EDIT: While the video says it will be revealed on the 19th, it will more likely be put out on the 20th due to our Relay for Life event Saturday night-Sunday morning, but we'll be sure to put out a few hints after we film it ;)

Wow, nice work Ryan, that video makes ME curious to see...and I have seen inside already! :D

Can't wait for the reveal. Great video by the way.

Awesome video. How come there are no photos from earlier years? I just went through and looked and Shaun has been wearing that thing since 2009.

Hey everyone actually he has been wearing it since 2006.... My question is who packs it???????? ;)

I saw what was in his backpack a couple of years ago....

Here is a previous discussion of the contents.

My personal favorites are a series of nested backpacks, and the proper spelling of his first name.

I am pretty sure I saw coach Wayne peek out during the finals at MAR. ;)

I still hold with family photos. And I'm adding - parts of other robots that serve as reminders. And maybe the battery that fell off the bus.

After their most recent bus trip, I'm guessing extra hydraulic parts as well ;)

Are the contents the same now as they were in 2006? if so, I hope they aren't perishable...

Okay you guys made a teaser video too very funny.

I checked through photos and he wasn't wearing it in 2008 in Hawaii or Atlanta. He may have had it back then, but he wasn't glued to it like he has been n recent years.

Re: Shaun's Backpack - TO BE REVEALED!
 
Wow, if I had known it was such a big deal I would have paid attention; I was standing there as he dumped it out on Einstein. If one man's trash is another man's treasure, it looked quite treasureable to me.

FIRST's B-Roll video shows it being opened in the background of one of the interviews.

He's in the background, kneeling on the field.

This must be that big FIRST Robotics movie that everyone's been talking about.

It wasn't? Sure...yeah, let's go with that ;)

My dad and I put together a few guesses for the backpack contents in this pic. However, the contents of the fanny pack inside the backpack is like a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.

Well, I can confirm the easter egg is correct. I put it there (and I have the shirt to prove it)

Having witnessed the reveal of the backpack today, I can say you're all in for a treat. It was quite the climactic special event. The last pocket is the best. I could come and spoil what was in it, but I'll save that surprise for the video :D

If that's your guess, I'm going to say you probably don't know Shaun very well...:rolleyes:

For everyone who wasn't at Monty Madness, Shaun graciously loaned us his backpack for the day, as a good luck charm.

Video soon.

Obviously we weren't able to harness all of it's magical powers ;)

Our Media team is currently editing the video and working on the sound (we actually filmed the reveal during one of our matches, from what I heard it went pretty well =P). Having our Relay for Life event this past weekend has delayed the video a little bit.

It will hopefully be posted in the next few days!

Was there even much sound at all? The whole time I was thinking, "There's no way the camera is picking this up".

Just curious, does any one else think this is kinda creepy?

I'm very confused by this. What does it mean?

--

As far as the back pack following being creepy, if that's what is meant by being creepy .. there's all sorts of celebrity in FIRST. Shaun's Backpack is a source of celebrity, somehow fueled by mystery and curiosity. You can't put the genie back in the lamp, sometimes.

Not to speak for Pascack, but they've had fundraisers and stuff this past weekend, so I assume it'll be up sometime during this long weekend. And sadly there wasn't a huge crowd at the offseason. But those of us that were there saw an amazing event...

I was not there, but I heard the reveal went a little something like this:

WARNING: This video contains simulated supernatural violence that may be disturbing for younger viewers or people that have a weak stomach for bad special effects. Viewer discretion is advised.... I would also advise you to turn down the volume on you PC.

Re: Shaun's Backpack - TO BE REVEALED!
 
stevend1994 nailed, it. the production team has been just a bit over-busy this past week.

Soon. Right Ryan?
