I think they should do this randomly for all teams. Kind of like a lottery of FIRST. If you get picked, the documentary of that year will be about your team.

This documentary is actually separate from the ones that have aired in the USA. (Like the one that was on PBS) When our team was first formed we had the idea of getting a documentary made about us because we are the first FRC team in Australia. Our founding sponsor (Macquarie University) has a media department, so we approached them about FRC. They sent an e-mail out to all their graduating class and we ended up with a five-man film crew. (Producer, director, sound/technical adviser, and co-director/camera-woman, with a faculty member overseeing the operation as the executive producer)

We hope the video will help others interested FIRST start it in their country, or (as in our case) continent!
