American Chopper? NO.
American Robot? YES.

Here we are again, back with season three.
American Robot is a six episode show documenting the design and build process of our robot.

Very cool. It's good to see that even with the changes this season you're still having fun. I always love seeing what the Rhode Warrio.... err... what the Air Strikers are up to.

I love the time-lapse sequences. I wish our team did some of those.

For those that don't know, these guys in Rhode Island are some of the best prototypers in FIRST. The American Robot episodes provide a unique look at their design process. It is awesome to watch concepts evolve from ideas into reality. If you want to understand the definition of iterative process check out this video.

I know 148 has struggled to emulate the way these guys prototype and evolve their designs. Everyone can learn something from our friends from Rhode Island.

I'm excited to see what the 78 robot looks like!

Good job Brad.
I like the special effects, and music aligns well to the video.
When will the other episodes be available?

Lovin the return of American Robot!

Thanks for the feedback guys. To answer for question Kyle, I'm shooting to release the third episode tonight or tommorow. They're coming together whenever I can find time.
