my FIRST power drill

I'd suggest looking through Freeplay Music to try to find the song from this video. They provide a lot of music for commercials and similar media, and I know at least one or two FRC game animations used music from Freeplay. All the music there is free to download for personal use, although if you must get licensing to use it for anything public.

I'm surprised the video doesn't include a reference or two to the the things that qualify a team for the Chairman's award. Maybe something about the first team that you help bootstrap themselves into existence and stable operation? or your first visit to visit a government official?

About the music - It doesn't do much for me, but I'm an old fossil. Pay attention to what will make a favorable impression on your audience, that's not necessarily what you personally enjoy the most....

FIRST has an ok version of the video on their site, but does anyone have a higher quality version?

whenever i play the FIRST version, it's all pixelated... and makes for a REALLY bad impression... i mean, what kind of respectable engineer puts a pixelated video up for marketing purposes!!!

If anyone has a higher quality version, please pm me, and we can figure out a way to transfer it. i think the highest quality i have is 340 / 480... and when i want to show it on an hd projector for a demo, it looks horrible.

I KNOW there's an HD version out there, since it looked AMAZING at the competitions...

If you have a high-res version, please pm me! I'd love to get a copy.

thanks,

The best quality version on FIRST's site is the "Windows Media Large (18.9 MB)" and is at 640 x 480. I would like a better quality version as well but i doubt FIRST ever released it or will. Even if they put it on their site i would be a huge file.

PS. I'm still looking for the music in this video. if anyone knows the title or artist please let me know, thanks.

I'm pretty sure the videos they show on the big screen are in a DVD provided by FIRST along with the national anthems and the game video and such.

I was just wondering, as anybody else in the Michigan area seen the new Michigane Adventures commercial. I was wondering if i was crazy or if the background song is the same as the one in this vid.
