According to the picture explination, it is video from UCF.

Also demos are a ton of fun, especially when you have a lot of kids there. We did one along with 3 or 4 other teams in Springfield Mass a couple of days after ship, and because it was vacation there were a ton of kids, and the looks of awe on their faces just make the entire expierence worth while to me.

It's really alot of fun to do demos for all ages and groups of people. I have been with my team when we showed off our bot from the '03 game to the special olympics down in our area. It was fun to see how much enthusiasm was in the air about robotics at that given time. We also did space week with both our '03 and '04 bots and to see the knowledge that those kids had about the space department and areas of the likes was really astounding. It's great to demo your bot, and more importantly to be able to talk about GP and the morals of FIRST to other people that have the enthusiam and the possibility of one day filling your shoes where you were once standing. I say watching someone that you showed off to at a side event like that in your place in a couple years is the best gift from FIRST, inspiration to others.
