Let's Talk FIRST! Ra Cha Cha Ruckus

[XaulZan11]

I'm not sure what you have planned in the future, but if you want to bridge the gap between teams and HQ, I think the show could be very benifical as a 'behind the scenes of HQ', similar to what Bills Blog is, but not necessary as focused on FIRST news. While the vidoes about IRI and Ra Cha Cha Ruckus are very well done, most of us have experience similar offseason events. I do think they are very valuable to the 'fringe' teams who only think FIRST is 6 weeks and the competition, but I bet most people who watch these videos already know FIRST is a year long activity. Assuming hardcore FIRSTers/CDers are your main audience, it may be a good idea to show things that we simply do not have access to. Possible shows could include interviews with GDC to learn who they are and how they make the game, show what exactly goes on at HQ, how the kit of parts gets determined and all the other stuff that goes on at HQ that I don't know about.

Sounds like an awesome idea. I'll speak to my bosses and see how we can manage this. I was planning for some stuff at kickoff. We'll see what I can do!
