As a mentor on one of those inner city teams, I can second this notion. This year alone we, as a team,will be running Michigan's only Vex tournament, had 100% of our team working at the rookie regional, ended up being short mentor wise because we all worked Kettering Kickoff, and we also had 75% of our team and all but 2 mentor (who were unavailable) show up to help at the FLL tournament. But for all that work we don't own a video camera as a team. One of my fellow college students has brought in her personal camera to use. So, to say that just because a team is struggling and doesn't have the resources as some of the "higher caliber" and therefore shouldn't be considered for CA is outright wrong.

The above being said, I like this idea. I hope it will allow us to get some new kids out of interest in making videos.
