Angry FIRST THE MOVIE?!?!

"I can see it now...

Some horrible Disney Channel actors staring in an action/romance/comedy adventure throught robotics! See Aaron Carter as the head of the team! Be amazed at the poor acting skills! Be at awa at there delemas (oh,no Joe {Aaron}, the box of parts they, {close up} got lost in the mail!) and their impossible to build robot! Wonder how the hell they have time to go to a pizza parlor and do everything else underthe sun with 2 weeks to go! Pee in your pants at how cheesey and pathetic their robot becomes! And gasp at how low of lifeforms they make the opposition look! Now Direct-To-Video It's "Aaron Carter stars in as Joe, Team Wave! A Poor Documentary on FIRST Robotics. "

Yea, Dany Devito as Dean Kamen, too bad he is too big to ride the Segway.

1. Correct, I am a Sie-H2O-Bot..

2. I'm just saying that if other teams were in on the film, I don't just want to see big name corporate teams.. ( again, no offense), I'd like to see some teams with no product placement..

3. The movie would go as follows: Kid joins team, team builds bot, kid finds true love, bot blows a motor( splits frame, etc.), kid loses girl, kid fixes bot, team wins, kid gets girl back..

Make sense??

I'll die laughing if it comes out this way But one hopes that since FIRST looked over the script it will be at least a bit better than your average Disney made for TV movie!

Just your classic Robot love triangle.

I can see it now.....


MARCUS, our male lead, is busy working on Podunk High School's FIRST robot. He's wearing a tuxedo, with a vest adorned with interlocking triangles, squares and circles, and he's crying. He's careful not to let any tears fall on the robot's electronics. SHELIA , his erstwhile girlfriend, enters the room. She's wearing a prom dress, and has a robot-shaped corsage.

SHELIA: Why are you working on this robot now? This is our prom night!

MARCUS: You just don't get it, do you?

SHELIA: No, I don't!

MARCUS: It was kind of a rhetorical question.

SHELIA: Sorry about that - try again.

MARCUS: You just don't get it, do you?

SHELIA looks at MARCUS with a look that says, "I'm waiting for you to answer your rhetorical question, and I love you.

MARCUS: This robot isn't about me! It's about knowledge! And teamwork! And everything that's right about America! This robot's about....

At this point MARCUS is interrupted by SHELIA's wet sloppy kiss. As they're kissing, MARCUS reaches behind SHELIA, grabs a wrench, and starts tightening down bolts on the robot. Then he gives a thumbs up to the camera

Fade to black.

THE END



What do you think?

FIRST ON TV

I agree it would be great to see FIRST back on TV.

But... I was always dissapointed in the way all they showed before was the quarterfinals on.

It would be great to have an actual show like battle bots or robotica where they would show all of the matches.

I guess this wouldn't happen until the National Event was a qualifiers only event, but hey a guy can dream.

Jay

TV

Hey when im with some people and all the sudden there is robotics on the tv the people start askin a bunch of questions and are really into it. i don't know why the robotics was on tv sometimes (around me anyway) there are specials on the news or a&e that i just happen to catch but i really think that if espn or another big station broadcast the competition right that people will watch it. they have to show how awsome and interesting it really is....oh well

So what are we going to do about this? If no one gets NASA TV then what is the point of them covering the competitions? If FIRST really wanted to go global and get more recognition they would stick with ESPN, ABC or even Disney so that EVERYONE can get their robotics fix.

I say we write letters to FIRST and ESPN. If one team member from each team would like to write a letter I think that would get the ball rolling.
