I like the idea.

How are you going to stay objective and unbiased with these videos? I'm sure you'd be approached by FRC distributors wanting coverage of their products (or trying to negate negative views of their products).

How much serious and in-depth testing do you plan on doing? Will you post your methods? If someone points out a flaw in your methods, how open would you be to redacting those results and trying again?

In your reviews, if you come across an inferior product, how would you present it? Would you openly critique a product you thought teams shouldn't use knowing that the developers of that product would likely be watching your video? Would you censor negative opinions for the sake of GP? Is everything going to be "a great product?"

How are you critiquing these products, and from what point of view? Are you focusing on their effectiveness for an FRC robot, their viability for a team? Their versatility in use? Are you focusing your reviews from the perspective of a specific kind of team? Are you planning to examine multiple perspectives?

How much experience do you have with these COTS products and effectively evaluating them?


Overall I think this can be a great project. I ask these difficult questions because they help define the show and its values. This has a lot of potential, and with the right character can be a great hit.
