While I'll agree that the teaser has some issues with regards to how effective it might be for its stated purpose, I definitely think they're going in the right direction in terms of intent-- bringing in people "outside the tent" is a commendable goal and I hope future attempts will be more effective in that regard.

Personally, I think it's a fun video, and I think that using it to explain a bit of FIRST culture to somebody outside the tent isn't completely ridiculous-- it gives a nice opportunity to explain the context of the video (game hints), which can lead into a discussion about the program. I'm looking at this as a small net positive thing on the part of FIRST-- it may not be exactly what they're going for, but it's definitely a step in the right direction attitude-wise.
