Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008

Not sure what exactly is going on with this PBS Documentary but they may have a central story line on the teams that OZ_341 mentioned but seems like the will do something additional on other teams.
When we were uncrating our robot there was a camera crew from this documentary right there trying to get every angle. Then they asked one of our student mentors to do an Interview late Thursday and 12 of our team members did a 45 minute (Question & Answer) session with them late Friday. They had a student say an introduction ("We are Team 171 Extreme Engineering from Platteville, Wisconsin") three or four different times. Then answered a bunch of questions and finally did a closing team chant.

Asking questions about this Documentary and filming we found out that the crew that was at Championship was a private contractor hired just for filming. They didn't know too much information about the specifics time dates. Information I gathered is that they are doing a main story on FIRST Robotics then some smaller sections about individual teams. Release date set for Late Fall.
