 And the rest of the team helped them, encouraged them, and made a big deal about how awesome it was that we were competing for the Chairman's Award. - Carolyn_Grace [more] |

Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits
We received an email yesterday regarding this, so we thought we'd like to let the cat out of the bag. We had the opportunity to help out as technical consultants on Big Hero 6.
Our team members were technical consultants for the movie, helping the writers understand what it's like being kids who build robots. There are lots of cool additions our team was able to make such as phrases like "that's janky" and a McMaster catalog cameo due to our constant use of the big yellow book. We were grateful for the opportunity and hope you guys enjoy the project as much as we enjoyed helping with it.

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits
I just saw it last night with a member of my team, and we were wondering about that McMaster Carr book...
This makes so much sense.

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits
I just got back from seeing the movie with some of my teammates, and we were laughing about the McMaster-Carr book. We didn't realize that a FIRST team was responsible for it!
That's really neat that FIRST is spreading into major Hollywood productions! Congrats!

That is just too cool. Now I have even more obscure Easter eggs to look for when I watch BH6.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! It was an amazing opportunity for our students. I hope that more opportunities like this arise for FIRST teams!

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits
Oh wow! I had a chance to see the movie this weekend with a few friends (because robots), but oh man I thought I was seeing things while reading the credits!
Great job guys, I'm glad to know that the program that I am in is involved in so much more that engineering and robots  (I'm also glad to know that I'm not crazy  )
