From another thread:
Even if there wasn't an award, if FIRST just recognized videos like these reveals on their website they could definitely spark a lot of interest.

I think an award like this would be awesome! They do animation, why not video? It could have a due-date, they're not too hard to make (mine took me, what, a day or two?), and are a great way of showing your robot to others. Not only are they INSPIRING, but they're some of the coolest things to watch! It would be even better, since you're being judged on the quality of the video, not the robot in it. You could have a robot like 111's (just an example, since it is the 111 thread), and have a not as good video (this one is awesome, again, just an example), and you can have a rookie team who's robot only uses 2 out of 4 CIM motors with a great video.
I'm for the Unveil Video Award (UVA).
Back to the original topic, this has got to be one of my favorite videos of 2012, solely because of the scene with the camera inside the ball. 148 in 2009 was my favorite because of this, and though 118 this year took the #1 spot, I think videos like this one are just plain awesome (UVA winner?
).
