Documentary

Entry Description

A documentary on the FIRST Robotics organization.

Judge 1

Positives: The footage did a good job of showing the broad range of the robot show. And I got a sense of the machinery and science involved.

Improvements: This is a potentially very interesting topic, but I thought the film could have done a better job of explaining robotics. What they are, why they're so hard to build, why people geek out on them so much. Everybody's fascinated by robots, and I think this was a bit of a missed opportunity to delve into a subculture that actually builds them. Be careful on the sound. Some sloppiness there -- statements being cut off, some clipped sequences. Editing of it was a little off at times.
