Exclamation An open letter to FIRST and Disney

Dear F.I.R.S.T. and Disney,

There has been talk about making a movie about the F.I.R.S.T. robotics competition for the Wonderful World of Disney movie series. If this is true I have a proposal to you.

I have an open suggestion about the movie, but it does not concern story line or actors, but the screening and final cut.

I think that if Disney is going to make a movie about our competition then we should get a chance to see it and critique it before it gets released to the public. I have seen a lot of newscasts and/or newspaper articles from various sources that have totally messed up the whole game or idea's behind FIRST. The press has done a lot of wonderful things for FIRSt but they have also done things like comparing FIRST to Battlebots and totally describing the game wrong.

My suggestion to Disney and FIRST would be to hold the final production till after the Championship Event in whatever year you are releasing it so we can watch the final cut you have. Then you can ask us what needs to change to properly and accurately convey the message of FIRST to the rest of the world!!!!!!

I would happily give up a few hours of my time in Florida to watch the movie and discuss or comment on the film, and I'm sure a lot of other FIRSTers would as well!!!

Thank you for your time,
Elgin C. Clock
