Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008
The teams that are featured in the documentary, to the best of my knowledge, are listed below.
Team 341 "Miss Daisy"
Team 488 "Team XBot"
Team 1583 "Rambotix"
1706 "Mango Fandango"
Team 2528 "Tough Ladies"
We only had direct contact with Team 2528 and they are an awesome example of a Rookie team!
The timing for release should be late fall 2008 or early next year. There is also no guarantee from the producers which teams or in which proportion they will be featured. That will be determined later by the editors. Hopefully they will show all of these teams. It is certainly a diverse group that will represent FIRST well.
I was quiet until now because I did not want the documentary process to interfere with our season. Now that the Championship is over, I can say that they followed us from team meetings in late December through to the Championship Event.
Most importantly, off-camera, we spent a lot of time educating the directors, producers, and camera crews about the meaning of FIRST. Whenever we were at an event and saw a team doing something really cool, we would walk them over and say "Look at this! This is what FIRST is all about!" I think they were absolutely "floored" by what happens at a regional competition. Hopefully this will translate into the finished product.
Overall it has been a positive experience for us and we hope that the film will show FIRST for the incredible and life changing experience that it truly is.
