 Not only would it be cool but the mental image of Dave's suffering when he writes a message in unintelligible characters makes me grin uncontrollably. - Andrew Schreiber [more] |

FRC 2468 Team Appreciate's logo was modified and used in the new Transformers IV - Age of Extinction movie. In addition, our Rebound Rumble Robot Spud has an action sequence with Mark Wahlberg and Nicola Peltz in the movie.

What kind of scene? How cameo is it, like, a FIRST robot playing a FIRST robot? Is he secretly a tranformer?
Way to make it loud, then.

The robot does have a speaking part.. kind of.
Our team and some close local friends were fortunate to be invited to a sneak peek screening last night.

There are many cool stories that should be told by those who were there, on set. But that is how we got involved.. plain old outreach that turned Hollywood. In this case, literally. We were just very fortunate in this case and happy to help.

When my boyfriend and I saw it, both proud alumni mentoring multiple teams, we freaked out and the people sitting next to us gave us the weirdest looks. It was awesome to see a FIRST shown like that! Congratulations!

So is this becoming a thing now? 1114 was on Degrassi. 842 has ties to a movie that is coming out soon. 2468 is in Transformers. I'm pretty sure there was a FIRST robot briefly in a TV commercial a while back. Congrats and way to make it LOUD!!!!!

Saw it tonight! My brother and I were with another couple FRC alumni, so it was super cool to see that they were allowed to leave the team's competition bumpers on for the shoot!
Congrats guys, awesome way to get yourselves out there!

I'm ashamed to say that MY MOTHER, who has never been to an event but has seen live streaming when I scurried all over the field as FTAA in Las Vegas this year, spotted the FRC bot (didn't know what team it was, but that it was FRC) when I took her to see the movie tonight. I told her it had to be a Rebound Rumble bot and finally saw the team number and told her what it was and the team name. The people in front of us turned around because I accidentally kicked one of their seats when I was trying to figure out the team number and I explained to them what the deal was.
Very cool cameo.

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.

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!

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!
