Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

We received an email yesterday regarding this, so we thought we'd like to let the cat out of the bag. We had the opportunity to help out as technical consultants on Big Hero 6.

Our team members were technical consultants for the movie, helping the writers understand what it's like being kids who build robots. There are lots of cool additions our team was able to make such as phrases like "that's janky" and a McMaster catalog cameo due to our constant use of the big yellow book. We were grateful for the opportunity and hope you guys enjoy the project as much as we enjoyed helping with it.

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

I just saw it last night with a member of my team, and we were wondering about that McMaster Carr book...

This makes so much sense.

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

I just got back from seeing the movie with some of my teammates, and we were laughing about the McMaster-Carr book. We didn't realize that a FIRST team was responsible for it!

That's really neat that FIRST is spreading into major Hollywood productions! Congrats!

That is just too cool. Now I have even more obscure Easter eggs to look for when I watch BH6.

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone! It was an amazing opportunity for our students. I hope that more opportunities like this arise for FIRST teams!

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

Oh wow! I had a chance to see the movie this weekend with a few friends (because robots), but oh man I thought I was seeing things while reading the credits!

Great job guys, I'm glad to know that the program that I am in is involved in so much more that engineering and robots

(I'm also glad to know that I'm not crazy )

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

My team thinks of itself as being part of the Church of McMaster Carr, so Ioved the catalog cameo. Anybody remember what number they put on it?

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

BTW, McMaster said the catalog number was 111. They are currently delivering 120, if you rate well enough to get one.

I never look at the book anymore as their website and online ordering process is spectacular.

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

It'd be cool to have some sort of commentary where we could see what points in the movie your team thinks/knows they had direct impact on.

What a cool opportunity! How did they find/reach you? What was the process like? Was it one day interview or multiple points of contact? Were you able to see the movie before hand? Review the script? Did they (the movie people) talk to mostly students or did mentors have a lot of input as well? I'm really curious as to the logistics of this.

Re: Team 4 ELEMENT in Big Hero 6 End Credits

Just saw the movie with my 5 year old daughter and her friends.
Until I saw it, I had no idea what it was about, other than it was a kids show.

Great movie!
