FIRST Robotics TV Program - Beyond Sports 9/27

[Jim Zondag]

For anyone who did not get to see the program, the video is now posted to YouTube at:

This initial spot was a, "What is the Sport of Robotics?" episode.
The producer has an affiliation with Lawrence Tech U, so the LTU tie in is natural.

The proposal for the series is to do an FRC focused premier show week zero, covering the new 2015 game rules, strategy, and highlight some teams and their machines prior to the start of competition, then weekly "sports desk" coverage of highlights of district events played each week, and finally a State Championship special. I think this will be great.

Feedback on the pilot show is welcome from anyone in the FRC.

Feedback:

Cool to see our robot in action. They mistyped Team 0862 (Lightning Robotics) as 8620.

During one of the student interviews, the student said that he knows what he wants to do now, and is going to Kettering.

So much for the LTU sponsorship.

In full disclosure, I'm a Wayne State Grad.... Nice to see LTU doing a better job recruiting these kids.

Interesting how this robotics stuff evolves and competing, Vex and FTC, Lego League and Robofest.
