Talking RoboBee (Parody of Firework)

About 2 weeks ago, Mandy, FRC Team 836's current president, wrote, recorded, and created a music video for a parody of Katy Perry's "Firework", entitled "RoboBee". It's a beautiful song. You can find the music video she created here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz2yL...v&feature=uenh

Now, this past weekend was the Duel on The Delaware, in NJ, hosted by FRC 365 (MOE!) and FRC 316 (the LuNaTecs). They played the song twice during the tournament, and the team was pumped about it. Before the final match, I asked the announcer to cal Mandy up and have her perform "RoboBee" for us. It was amazing, and the video doesn't quite do it justice, but can e found here:

I thought both videos were worth sharing, even if you aren't an official RoboBee.

Better then the original in every way. Really inspirational lyrics. Thanks to Mandy for taking the time and effort to do something this special.
