In my opinion, a video like this is much better.
I don't care about the video going viral. I just think it would be cool. I thought the video my friend's school did was pretty cool, so why not apply a cool idea to a cool program (FIRST)?

I have a feeling that a video trying to be "cool" by a person who goes by the moniker of "SuperNerd256" may end up not fulfilling its goals...

Re: FIRST promo video for champs
I think if it's done well a video like this can be a great promo for FIRST. Let me emphasize that it must be done well. An example could be the Grand Rapids LipDub. I think it was done exceptionally and really encompasses a little bit about what we're like here in Grand Rapids.
