The minute we can get a video about FIRST that's self-explanitory and interesting, the minute we get a video shared and enjoyed by random Joe and his grandma.
I think you just said something right there that should be highlighted. That's a completely accurate statement. What can teams do to help solve this problem. Most robot reveals follow the same formula as Team 118's video. What can we do to change that formula to make the video more universally non-FIRSTer friendly? Not to take away from the awe that "here's my awesome robot" videos tend to bring to CD and the FRC community but create something that we can use to springboard FIRST into the mass culture.
