Playing defense with literal thin air? (8634 Bootstraps!)

This past spring I attended the FRC North Carolina State Championships and got to talk to a bunch of the teams. If you've never heard of FIRST Robotics, you're in for a real treat, because this competition is AWESOME. (If you haven't seen the hub video for all these interviews, check it out first! • The annual engineering... )
These teams, thousands of them, have only about 2 months to design, build, and test robots to play a brand new game before the competitions begin, and then their work is put to the test! It would be a lot for any professional engineer, but these kids are still in high school! It's pretty incredible.
This video is the complete pit interview with FIRST Team 8634. Enjoy!

I don't have a link to 8634's homepage (let me know and I'll update!), but here's their BlueAlliance page:

If you're interested in finding a team or attending an event, here's the official team search from FIRST:

And if you want to know more about any specific team (like a link to their website) you can probably find it on Blue Alliance:

This is a world map that shows events and teams. I'm not sure how accurate it is because it doesn't look official, but it's a lot easier to search by eye! (and it also doesn't include the other FIRST programs like FLL and FTC (FRC was featured in the video))

First Robotics is fantastic, especially at the age bracket its targeting. As someone who grew up when Robot Wars was first starting, FIRST would have totally changed my life trajectory as far as skills are concerned. Well done for applying your mentorship talents towards a group of peeps that are going to continue far beyond anything we can think of!

It's invigorating to see how excited these young people are.

Thanks for uploading all of these! I've loved watching everyone get to nerd out over different aspects of their builds.

I love you sharing these pit interviews! This relatively young team has a simple machine, but all the fundamentals are done very well. A high grip drive, lots of power, an effective end-game, and a creative defense mechanism. These are the robots I really like to see!

I'm a little afraid that the detour from your normal content may risk you losing subscribers. KZfaqrs often put such diverse material in a secondary channel.
