Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008

Every team has a story to tell. As FIRST grows, so will the amount of attention given to it by the national media.

This may have been the first national documentary about FIRST, but it won't be the last. Even if you didn't get in on it this year, there will certainly be some more opportunities going forward.

Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008

Where are they now ?

Both Mentors from Team 1706 have mentored rookie teams this year. Both of them during the 2008 off-season participated on a company sponsored mentor training program which they built themselves a "demo robot" using the FIRST Robotics 2008 kit. That experience allowed them to get "hands-on" experience in building robots and working in teams

One of the rookie teams got featured on KSDK Show Me St. Louis :

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.

To the best of my knowledge it will air in late Spring. But that is only an estimate. It is still going through the final approval and scheduling process at PBS. Apparently, this phase takes some time.

If I find out anything else othat is "official", I will post.

Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008

Hello All,

I heard they finished editing a couple weeks ago and plan to release the movie in Fall 2009, let me know if anyone has different information.

Have anyone seen newspaper article or newscast piece that mentions the FIRST documentary ?

Cheers,
Marcos.

Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008

Hi Marcos,

The information that you have is correct as far as I know. Last I heard PBS had not yet settled on a final air date (and it hadn't been determined whether it would air on "national" PBS time or individually at various times on local affiliates).

That said, I have it on good authority that the 90-minute finished product is of excellent quality and will be a huge asset for the FIRST community for years to come .

Jared

Re: Documentary FIRST Robotics 2008

I had signed up to be a member and got tickets to Donny Bash, I was not able to make it but I gave my tickets to my co-workers and they loved. Also as a member you get discounts to many participating business.....very cool. Maybe this year I can get tickets to Celtic Thunder show here in St. Louis.....

I heard they will be having a website in support of the documentary, has anyone heard the same information ?

Cheers,
Marcos.

I believe there will be some supporting materials developed. Hopefully they will be contacting us all very soon.
