So, are you guys making notes and keeping track of everything you are doing as rookie team? Documenting your journey? It will be interesting to see how you work through and/or avoid some of these challenges next year or if they are just built in challenges that you will have to contend with each year.

Your team's commitment is inspiring and it's fun to hear about your experiences.

Well, we know that there is some "historical" compnent to what we are doing. After all, it is not everyday that FRC starts on a new continent!!! :yikes: We have been trying to record what we are doing to help other teams in Australia--and around the world--in the upcoming years.

We are trying to get Press Coverage to promote FRC--as well as FLL--and get the programs better known. One of the ways that we are doing this is by having our own five-man film crew. They follow us everywhere, and do interviews. They are all recent students at Macquarie University's Film School. At first, the big cameras and microphone were annoying, but now they have just become part of the team. We hope to get the documentry onto a major TV station in Australia! Do you have any suggestions on other ways we can promote the program/record what we are doing?

We thought about just having a camera rolling throughout our epic journey through the city. But we probably would run out of tape. :)
