Video Explaining PID to Beginners

I made this video explaining PID and its application to robotics as a submission to the Breakthrough Junior Challenge. It attacks explaining PID theory from a perspective that does not involve code or require prior knowledge of calculus, so I hope someone might get some use out of it to explain how PID controllers work to a rookie programmer. Also, please let me know what you think about the video.

Enjoy! - https://youtu.be/_bWvXn4ilrY

I will also post the script, which includes all the graphs (which are all non-licensed and free to use under absolutely any circumstances ) and the equation, on CD media if anyone requests it.
