This is very smart.

I'm new to the Top25 casts; are they archived? (Certainly everyone's reveal videos will be available permanently, but as far as the commentary, etc.)

179 is definitely a possible "maybe so", but we'll see. Could go either way...

I'd take it one step further and save the top 5 most impressive videos for last and do a count down. (My initial thought was to go in order of least to most impressive videos, but I'm not sure I'd want my team to have the least imperssive robot video...).

I cannot wait for the show!

I wouldn't put them from worst to best. [Some] people may lose interest and stop watching. Also, no one wants to be shown as the worst.
Instead, I'd start with a good one to grab the attention of everyone who normally doesn't watch/rookies. Then I'd proceed with semi-random making sure to scatter one's of well-known/good teams throughout to keep the attention of those watching. I'd also save the best few for the end.

We TRY to archive. When we first started we were bad a remembering but we've gotten better. You can watch some of our archived shows on the link below. We hope you enjoy it!

...what Dan said... goes for 180, too. I shopped the idea around and need to get one of our NEMs/students to make this happen .

Thanks,

I guess I'll be the first to suggest that they draw from a hat.

Have any teams delivered on this yet? Would be cool to get an update.

Mike and Justin - plans for length of the show/format?

As stated before, I think there are plenty of us robot crazed people who wouldn't mind being up for a while with this one. Those who can't can watch the recording or youtube videos anyway. No?

Sorry, 578 wont be able to make a video this year.

Weren't not crazyyyyyyy.

Justin/Mike,

We won't be producing a video, but would you be interested in a reveal picture during transitions between other videos? We will more than likely have 'glamour' shots.

I know this is your show you're running here, but seeing as you have all three world champs committing to this, I think grouping them together at the beginning or end may be in order.

Also would it be ok if:
a)a teaser that wasn't the official video was released publicly
b)the video would be sent out to sponsors and supporters, but not available publicly until Saturday?

The second one sounds ok, but I dunno about the first one.

Perfectly fine
