This was really fun to work on! Make sure to check it out!
It’s pretty awesome seeing STEM represented on mainstream television. Happy to see our reach widening.
Im just hoping that FIRST is represented as is and does not get butchered by them.
To my knowledge, there are a lot of FIRSTers involved in this project with the Fosters. I have faith that it will execute well.

Wow. Just wow. Never did I think the mentor built robot debate would make it on to a tv show.
Were FIRST teams involved at all in the writing and storyline? The storyline pushed in this teaser is pretty embarrassing for FIRST.
What makes it so embarrassing, Adam?
The episode is based on mentor built robots…
Disparaging teams for having engineering mentors… which is one of the core concepts of the program.
So I take it that you’ve seen this episode in it’s entirety and have identified this plot point as “The storyline”?
>mentor built robots
>southern california
>NASA
I really hope this is a coincidence
Were FIRST teams involved at all in the writing and storyline? The storyline pushed in this teaser is pretty embarrassing for FIRST.
I’m commenting on the storyline from the trailer/teaser… All I can go on. And that trailer pretty clearly criticizes teams for engineering mentors.
There is also an episode where a student takes drugs because she’s tired from build…not totally the right message in my opinion…
I’m honestly surprised FIRST signed off on this.
