Sounds like my team.
"Wait. We need to take a picture. Do that again but this time do it with your safety glasses on."
I agree pretty much on everyone elses assessment of the show. It was boring. It seemed like they just watch an episode of Robot Wars and thought they could repeat that. I would rather see a very in depth show about a few teams. Or a very widespread one about the competition. I would have liked to see some excepts from the opening and closing ceremonies. My favorite opening ceremonies part was Dave's speech. He actually created my new personal slogan, "Step on Mars." I would have loved to see this part in the video because it represent a lot of the 6 week build. There is a lot of improvement that would have made this show not so cringinly painful to watch. Dean and Woodie must of avoided Curie or were too busy on the segway to make a video clip.
As a note I think that any team who is in a video for TV needs to always step up the GP. Sometimes they try to throw out that it was the alliances fault after a loss and it doesn't look great and I am sure even hurts the alliance team that much more. This just seems to happen everytime we get on TV and it disturbs me. So if you're going to be on TV you must step up the GP to the point you let them know how alliances work.
I've got to go to bed that is good for now.
