It would have to be funny enough to appeal to a general audience who may not understand the subtleties of robot antics...but it may be worth a shot. Plus it could be a good fundraiser for your team if you ended up winning any money. Feel free to share your thoughts on this (as well as sharing some of your humerous experiences)...
This would really be a great idea. When I was a freshman, the guys loved to tease me. So, one day, when the robot was done and we were visiting Lockheed Martin, we brought the robot and the programmer (who despised me) drove it around. Well, you can probably guess what happened. He chased me around with the robot! It was terrible..he actually rammed it into me a couple of times. It was funny to the guys, but horrible for me. He nipped my ankles and legs quite a few times.
If only they had a camera and they could actually have sent that in...oy. The humility for me..but hey, it'd still be fun publicity for FIRST. =)
