You can do a lot with Movie Maker...more than people think. I tried to do some editing in MIT's student media lab with Final Cut Pro, got frustrated with the Macs, and went back to Movie Maker on my laptop. It did everything I wanted to do and more. Check out www.windowsmoviemakers.net if you want to learn some more advanced stuff. (There are many more transitions than Microsoft includes standard...you can unlock them and play around with a simple xml file.)

My HS team (527) was on Archimedes so I got to see you guys a lot...what a great machine! The video definitely shows that.

Oh yea, and I applaud the music selection!
We had a person (me) as the media person, except I don't go to the high school that is makeing the good video. I guess we're going to have a half hour movie on the season from build season, to UTC, to nationals, and hopefully a shorter higlight video. Once the videos with the better footage is up I'll post a link.

Thanks about the comment on the machine I was one the top machinist and one of the top mechanical guys, we had our hearts set on that design since day 3 and kept it simple. Hopefully for some invitational compeitions we'll speed up the robot and have some more practice for the drivers (on a scale of 1 to 10, we probably did a 7 in Atlanta compared to what that drive team and robot could do with practice)..
