FIRSTtv Build Season Celebration Show - How To Submit!

Written by Jacob Komar, Producer, FIRSTtv .

Hey FIRST fans. I’m back, and with more exciting news about our upcoming Twitch content!

Maybe you caught our announcement during Kickoff, but if you didn’t, make sure you mark your calendars NOW for our Build Season Celebration Show on Friday, February 22 at 7:30pm ET, hosted by DeejayKnight, Libby Kamen and Karthik Kanagasabapathy. This show will be FIRSTtv 's celebration of the end of the build season and the beginning of competition season - and we want YOU to be a part of it!

Excited meme FIRST Robotics Competition

Your team can submit a video showcasing your team’s build season. We want to share the process and enthusiasm that your team is going through RIGHT NOW with other FIRST Robotics Competition teams, the whole FIRST community, and the broader Twitch audience - THE WHOLE WORLD!

Send us a video of your team representing your build season, and maybe even some of that sweet, sweet robot action. This is your chance to show off! The more action-packed and exciting the video is, the more likely it is to be chosen to be aired. Even if your video isn’t selected for the live show, it WILL be available in the official playlist that we publish after the show on the FIRST Robotics Competition YouTube channel.

FUN’s reveal night is the day after, for those who may be interested in doing both. Pay close attention to FUN’s rules, though. see Tyler’s post below.

You can submit to both. We are not excluding people. Seems that FIRST likes to keep moving this date around for some reason and it’s quite interesting that this was posted today specifically as well after our post.

Reminds me of an old Tom Green skit: Undercutters Pizza https://youtu.be/PdfztAY3qoU (NSFW language)

I had a lot of people ask me about FUN hosts being on FIRST. I 100% support this as they are amazing people and deserve as many chances to shine as possible.

They probably just have to undercut to help fund the Blue Alliance clone they built. :wink:

Curious to see Candidly Speaking through the FIRST/DeejayKnight lens

To be clear, this is not a Candidly Speaking - style show. This will follow in the lane of the existing FIRSTtv content lineup; and while Karthik and I are hosting, it’s a very different type of script.

I’m super excited about the show and introducing the community to an even broader Twitch audience. Karthik and I have never done an official FIRST show together, but having worked together at other events like Robots@CNE we think we can make this showcase and celebration a lot of fun for y’all. Deejay is a wonderful host, and this is his first ‘full season’ with us in the FIRST community, so hopefully you can all wow him with your amazing build season recaps & robot videos.
