I heard about this show on CD, applied, and after several rounds of cuts, eventually made it onto the show. I had a blast during most of 2 months of filming last winter, and the show is premiering tonight under the new name The Big Brain Theory: Pure Genius at 10|9c on Discovery.
It's all about building things with limited money and Very Limited time, which is something that FIRST helped prepare me for (and should feel a bit familiar to other FIRST'ers).
Here's 2 promotional videos:
