Absolutely correct. The FIRST robotics adviser on this series was there to add suggestions, create more realism, bring in teams, and create an environment similar to that of a competition.

Ultimately, the shows writers were writing the script based off of where they wanted the show to go and everything was handed to FIRST when their brand was being used for sign off.

I'd love to go into more detail about the shows inception and creation post Monday's episode, if there is interest.

But for now, I want to thank all the students, mentors, and volunteers for working 3 LONG days of filming. So much went into this small episode from just the several FRC teams point of view!

I also want to thank the amazing cast, crew, and extras of The Fosters for being very supportive and patient with us! They truly did a lot to make the the FIRST-ers feel right in place and many of the extras wanted to learn more about the program!

Hope you all enjoy Monday's episode!
