Last I checked Jr. FLL wasn't "Lego Robots Club". If anything, the Lego part is, while a requirement, secondary. It's about Researching and finding a solution to a problem and then presenting the solution; the Lego part helps illistrate the solution as part of the presentation. I don't see how presenting on camera is that far off of what Jr. FLL already does.

I wouldn't expect the videos to be the next blockbuster, but to say that making a video isn't in the scope of Jr. FLL is IMHO shortsighted.

That said, having spent 4 years as an FRC student, I know all about time management and the like... I also know it's possible and doable to make time management work. To those that did get videos done: Well done, keep it up. To those that didn't, hopefully your team got something else productive done, and if not, try again and try harder. Any progress is progress, the more the merrier.
