Merci beaucoup!

For any CDers who haven't seen it, there is a reddit thread which includes this GIF of the scene.

I saw the FTC bot first because it showed up first, and you know the Samantha module with the FIRST logo on it is something I've seen oh maybe 10000 times now. This was awesome that you got to do this. The funny second scene the robot was in when the fire exploded in the barn, I jumped because for a moment I thought it was the robot that was sparking. Needless to say I got funny looks when I said, "No! not the robot!"

I just got home from watching it and I almost yelled "Hey thats Appreciate!" (only my girlfriend (also FRC) had any idea what I was flipping out about) and then something like "lucky them, why can't we get something like that!" Great way to make it loud.

Now I just might go see the movie. Way to go 2468!

That's killer.

I did notice that it was loaded with 4 balls.

Mentor Mac here (east coast). So freaking cool. I saw the movie at Marley Station Mall in Glen Bernie, Baltimore. Watched it yesterday 7-12-14. I did not know ahead of time. I wanted to shout out. But I was the only one in the theater. It did not take long to find out the team number and name here. I'm glad I was surprised. I saw the shooting wheels 1st. Then the bumpers. Then 4 balls came out. This event or happening might be better then going to the White House. It makes me prouder to be part of FRC. I did not comprehend the FTC robot. Yeager Robotics you guys & gals are rock stars, super stars, VIP's, any kind of salute you want. Can we get backstage video? I love to watch grass grow and paint dry aka field communication fault. I need to meet you guys! When you coming to Maryland? The crabcakes will be on me. Did someone grab the mail box? I hope! It would look good in the "FIRST Hall of Fame" next to the 4 banger shifter transmission gear box. OH YA!

Glad you enjoyed the movie.

We did not get pictures of behind the scenes or any props from the movie. We were not allowed to take pictures or take any props from the set.

Ye we are 2468 Team Appreciate and happy they used our Robo Birdie for the Yeager Robotics Logo (same color scheme and all). The set had lots of stickers from places all around Austin. They also had logo stickers from our robotics non profit, WESTA, but we did not see any of them in the movie itself.

Saw the movie this past week, pretty cool!
I didn't see numbers on the bumpers though, the scene was a bit dark.

Thought it was pretty cool to have the basketballs shooting when Mark Wahlberg walked by.

Congrats to 2468!
