However, they are being caught by a guy standing IN FRONT of the goal into a garbage can. NOT POSSIBLE. TOTAL FAKE.

I suspect they overlayed 2 videos. Look as the video is playing at the where that midle arrow is pointing, that 1 top of a ball glimpse is there for a while in the video. Any other guesses on how they faked it?

I suspected fake in the first place because he said it was in the rumor mill not robot showcase.

Yeah...real as a SOFTBALL LAUNCHER!!!!!

if you watch the video, you will see that the trashcan is held by a guy standing behind the goal, and in the frame you posted, he is blocked from view by the man standing in the foreground.

i find it disappointing that so many of you have trouble trusting your fellow FIRSTers. several reliable people have said that this video is not a hoax. maybe y'all should spend less time over-analyzing freeze frames of a teaser video, and more time on the 'bot. i, for one, plan to fire 15 balls through the goal in under a second. eat your heart out, travis .
