Team 233 presents The FIRST Robot Rock Opera: The Audition

[Travis Hoffman]

Did your robots eat a Munchkin and the Cowardly Lion prior to their audition?

[Zorkinian]

Making the thing was a lot of fun - I'm just a team alumnus now, but even I managed to get a bit part (I'm the voice of the "operatic" robot auditioning)

[Samara]

That was so cool, and really creative great idea, and great singing I'm looking forward to seeing more!

[Duke_of_Hazard]

I'll be another to admit this was so much fun to do, I was the guitarist, so the other two musicians and I got to write up music for the opera and perform it on-stage. A Blast!

Hey everyone! The PINK web design team is pleased to announce that the ROBOT OPERA page is up at thepinkteam.org!

Check it out for more information, including pictures, videos, the script, and even a kit to put on your own rendition of the FIRST Rock Robot Opera.

[Gabe Salas Jr.]

The second video is currently available. So check it out!

[Barry Bonzack]

This... is nuts. What a strange and wonderful idea. Do I smell a new IRI talent show act...Other than nose instruments?

[Jeremiah Johnson]

That's crazy original! Great job, PINK!

[Robyn Needel]

This is great! Just goes to show that there's a place for everyone's creativity when it comes to FIRST...I look forward to seeing the rest of the opera. Congrats! (Maybe they'll let you present it in Atlanta for the assembled multitudes!)

Thanks! We were definitely thinking about ways to get different kinds of people involved with FIRST... last year we started with Art of the Bot, and we extended it this year with the Opera. I would love to be able to present it in Atlanta if we could... it would just be a little difficult to move the sets and the props (aka old robots) all the way up there. But I'm sure if we really needed to, we could make it work.
