Awesome videos from 2001/2002 of Team 71

While organizing a gigantic box of my CD's/DVD's/Software yesterday I came across two DVD's that John V-Neun sent to me probably 5 or 6 years ago.

The first is a season recap video made by Team 71 after their 2001 Championship winning season. This features one of the most dominant robots of all time and shows what appears to be every official match they played in, along with a photo slideshow of the season, some behind the scenes video of the team prototyping/designing the robot, and some media coverage of the team.

The second is of their 2002 Championship winning season (again!!) and follows the same format. This contains the epic Einstein semifinal matchup vs Team 60 (two of perhaps the five most dominant robots of all time facing off at the height of their game) as well as the finals vs Team 180. This video also appears to have many/all of their official matches as well as all of their matches at IRI.

I think John may have posted part/all of one of these videos on his blog awhile ago, but I cannot find it anymore. I thought these were an awesome piece of history that would be pretty cool for those who never got the chance to see either robot or only saw one of the very few clips available on Youtube. Another special treat is Woodie MC'ing and Blair announcing on Einstein. They are quite long but worth browsing through.

2001 Season Recap
2002 Season Recap
2002 IRI Qualifications
2002 IRI Eliminations

Again, credit to John for giving me these originally.
