Eh... that's what I said during high school, now look at me. I'm at community college as a freshman, two years removed from high school. I did one year of service at McDonald's. Trust me... I need to do my homework.

Alright, im posting more information about the award to save everyone some trouble.

The theme of the video should be "What sets your team apart from other FIRST robotics teams?"

It must be based around the theme, set to music, and at least 1 min 30 sec. but no longer than 3 min.

For specifics about what the videos will be judged on, check it out on the website here.

To submit an entry upload it to the internet somewhere and send a link to teamfusion364@gmail.com. It must be submitted one week before Nationals (April 5).

If you have any questions let me know!

A video contest, hm? That's pretty cool. Unfortunately, we don't have a videography team. We have...a person who likes making videos, if that counts.

I'm currently working on a video, but not for this contest...^^" Maybe another time...

[melissa_s]

well it doesnt have to be by your videography team because i know a lot of teams dont have anyone who does videography and puts together videos. just anyone who wants to make a video can enter, no videography team required.

[melissa_s]

so ive noticed a few teams have put monitors up in their pits. way to go, i think its an awesome way to promote what your team does outside of build season, along with promoting the robot.

just a reminder, the championship is only a few weekends away. which means so is the video award! Get your entries in!

[Jeremiah Johnson]

How many teams are entered?

[melissa_s]

i believe we have 3 so far...so SPREAD THE WORD! i dont know how else to get the word out that we're hosting the award.

[b-rant]

i hope we can get some more i spent a lot of time making that award and i know we can get some really cool submissions to display on our monitors

[Jeremiah Johnson]

Due date is technically tomorrow right? (One week from the beginning of Championships) Will you be extending it to accomodate for those that could possibly be getting in late?

[melissa_s]

certainly. just get it in before championships.
