Thanks. We're attending both GKC and Razorback, so I gotta study your video as much as possible to figure out a way to beat it.

We were relieved to finally see a belly climber.

Hopefully we can see it in Lubbock...if the dust isn't blowing in our eyes.

Thanks for a fantastic evening. I think you peaked at around 750 viewers.

We wanted to climb on the corner to leave the middle open for others, but it is very difficult. The video footage is not a good climb, obviously. We were missing some surgical tubing and had no automation - working on the controls. But we blew a gearbox right before bagging and didn't take time for more video.

And, yes, I have only been to Lubbock once and dust is what I recall.

Re: [FRCTop25.com]- Premiere Night!

If I may make a few suggestions for next year, I would like to suggest:

-Allow all submissions as you did this year; it's great for lesser known teams to be able to be shown to the whole community like this was.

-Keep random order with a couple superpowers at the end. The format was great for letting us see robots of teams we wouldn't have normally recognized by dangling the really good ones randomly. It was also pretty exciting wondering when our video would get pulled.

-Cap video length at 2 minutes. As amazing as the robots were, it gets rather fatiguing to watch video after video. The long videos got, honestly, boring and weren't fair to those who ended up being pushed back to very late at night.

-Define exactly what you want in a reveal video; keep build season footage to a minimum.

-Start earlier. We had a viewing party for it and had to miss the best of them because everyone's parents wanted them home by midnight.

Overall an excellent event and one you guys should absolutely do next year. FIRST should make a Release Video competition judged on videography and actually give a legitimate award for it.

Yes, yes, yes, AND YES!

Great suggestions. Thanks for participating! See you next weekend

Re: [FRCTop25.com]- Premiere Night!

I agree with Grim Tuesday with exception to the video length cap and video details. The video cap should be 3 minutes, as 2 minutes is sometimes too short to fit everything in. The video should have recommendations, but not an exact video guideline, as that ruins the variety seen in videos. Those are just some of my thoughts as the Bomb Squad's video producer.

I definitely agree with this. Guidelines are better than caps and rules; if someone thinks they can make a better video not following the suggested lengths or topic matter then by all means they should be allowed. I always remember 33's Chairmans videos where they do little skits. It's completely unorthodox and they end up winning Chairmans without the classic informative/interview video. As 639's video producer, I much prefer the short and sweet style we and 340 did but it isn't fair to force it on everyone: see 118 this year.

That said, I think some sort of hard length cap might be required to keep the entire event engaging for all the teams taking part in it, especially if more come next year.

Had a great time watching while staying at work late. Thanks for doing this, certainly think its a cool thing for some teams to participate in, while other teams choose to release video throughout build season, which I also think is important.

I would like to offer a few suggestions

I would cap video length at 1:45 seconds, and specify that a maximum of 15 seconds are allowed to be pictures of video of something other than video of a moving robot. This can be epic introduction, pictures/video of the robot being built, credits, or thanking sponsors.

Randomize the the play list before the production begins, and keep the order secret. This will allow you to queue the next video without having to spend time to search for it.

Having a set play list and knowing whats coming up will also allow you to prepare what to say next, so you have a little time to prepare while the videos are playing.

Overrall great work, thanks for the entertainment

Re: [FRCTop25.com]- Premiere Night!

I think if we're watching a robot reveal video, it should feature the real robot at least once, and for more than 10 seconds at the end.
