I'm really excited for this episode. Frank visited us at Mayhem in Merrimack back in June while our friends from FIRST were testing out one of the scoring systems. When he was there, I had the opportunity to sit near him and see how he acts when nobody is looking (not in an interview, scripted video, or in a blog post) and my estimation is that he is truly a great person that absolutely loves FRC.

Frank intently watched every match. That's not easy to do at a small off-season event hosting more Recycle Rush. We know he isn't affiliated with any team, but he was celebrating with the teams that successfully scored stacks and showed dismay at any failed stacks. He wasn't there for work, at least he didn't seem to be. It seemed like he was there because some of the FIRST engineers were doing some work there and he decided to stop in and hang out.

I've always wanted to share this story, but just couldn't seem to find the right time to share it... I wanted everyone to know what I experienced. It's not something everyone gets to see.

Anyway, I'm also excited for this episode because Stronghold seems to one of the most well-received games ever released and I'd love to hear more about it.

Great broadcast, thanks for putting it together

I'd like to see the details of Medieval Mayhem if GameSense can track them down as a follow up guest!

I can echo this statement. I got to talk to Frank in between MCing matches at Mayhem and he was nothing but enthusiastic about the whole day (about a very small offseason). It was also cool since his son (I think it was his son...) was on one of the team's there so he really wanted to see them do well. He was a great mix between a fan and a volunteer.

Here are the concept photos of "Medieval Mayhem" seen on the show last night:







The details are likely now intellectual property of FIRST, if not of 1189.

Aren't the last two pictures from FIRST and actually initial concepts for the game they created?

Correct

If 1189 is not covered by NDA and willing to talk it would be cool to get a short segment or mini pitch for Medieval Mayhem from them. They must have been so psyched when the game came out!
