FIRST Team's featured in a movie

[Dancin103]

This past summer the Cybersonics Technology Team 103 and Miss Daisy Team 341, along with a multitude of other teams in the Philadelphia area participated in a movie that featured robotics. The story is about a young teen (Bruce) who makes some wrong choices in his life by betraying his friends and family. He then meets a neighbor hood girl (Monica) who gets him involved in robotics and helps to turn his life around.
Movie producer Swamy Kandan has recently finished editing the film and the movie is set to premiere in the US September 19th in many local theaters across the country. The movie has already been sold to four major countries. To watch the trailer of the movie Catch Your Mind visit www.catchyourmind.com.

I will continue to update more information as it unfolds about the movie, as it has already inspired high schools who have seen a preview to want to start robotics teams.

Sounds like fun! I recognize some great team numbers
Will the US premier be close to you so you can all participate?

Is it this movie, at Ambler, PA? The plots sound similar -- young teen goes astray, joins robotics team, turns life around.

It's kinda funny as I look through the pictures to see the 2006 Miss. Daisy shooter bot actually "competing" on the 2007 game field with the tube slots on the sides. lol
I hope no poof balls got shot through the slots at anyone!

What the heck kind of game are the robots playing

Its like bots from aim high, rack n' roll, and maybe even a little zone zeal just bashing into each other on a huge square feild with no goals or game peices MY WORST NIGHTMARE!!!



This is what happens when robots consume your life... (he's probably looking at CD)

Yes the game is aim high, but to get enough robots and different robots for different shots, robots for 2006, 2007, and 341 had a practice base in it as well (which is the zone zeal robot I think you are talking about.)

And the movie may possibly be playing near Milwaukee seeing it is a major city, not really sure where the movie will be played. But if I find out I will deffinately let everyone know.
