I just wanted to answer some frequently asked questions about the movie.

What if my whole team can't participate?
You can be placed in the team scenes or crowd scenes without a full team. All 7 fictitious teams will be filled with players from multiple teams. So if you only have a few people, thats OK.

Can I participate as an individual?
Yes. We just need notice and the release forms and you can be placed in a team or classroom scene.

I will not know if I can go until the last minute. Can I still show up on July 7th?
Yes, there will be release forms at the door. You would be able to participate in the crowd scenes and have the fun of watching the film being made. There will also be a nice community carnival going on in the parking lot after we are done.

I want to bring my robot but its not a 2006 model?
Thats OK the game is fictitious and any year's robot will work.

What if my robot does not work at all?
Also OK! We can place it on a pit table for the background scenes.

Can my robot be in the film even if I can't stay?
Yes. We will take delivery starting on July 6th at 7AM and will take good care of your machine.

Will my team be paid or have its expenses covered?
Unfortunately not. But any team that contributes significant numbers of team players or robots will receive a credit line in the movie.

Has FIRST approved or sponsored this movie?
This is an independent project about a fictitious robotics competition. However the filmmaker has a son on a FIRST team and the script is well within the spirit of FIRST principles. He plans to communicate a very similar and very positive message.

I hope this answers a few questions that seem to be repeating and clears up some areas of misunderstanding.
We hope everyone can make it and we think it will be, at the very least, great fun.

Hope to see you there.
