[@jonwarren101]

"The only difference between this sport and all the others, is that every kid on our teams can turn pro." You have to go see these competitions in person to really understand how awesome this program --- and all of the teams involved --- truly is. Go check them out.

I just volunteered to help out at the local First Robotics competition. This video makes me so proud to be a part of such a great program.

[@Solar7647]

I was part of a FIRST national champ team in 2001...Still have my gold medals in a shadow box and still tell the stories with freinds. This is the best thing i ever did in school and it changed my life. I try to take my kids to a compatition every year and hoope it is still around for them to do.

[@KellieDeterman]

Watching this again and getting all emotional. The experience of this program has the ability to shape your life if you embrace it! Participate-mentor-advise-volunteer, there is no other experience like seeing students become the problem solvers of the next generation!

[@glenhp1]

Fantastic. It really captures the essence of the program in 3 minutes. Great job!

[@ad9red]

Our school is finally getting a robotics team! APEX Robotics! I'm so exited!

[@Bmwerling1]

FIRST was the best time of my life and I was on team 111.

[@Lutin16]

Go First!! Go PowerHawks! Wonderful showing of the program and all that it leads kids to accomplish.

[@bobbyv.n.5274]

How could you say that? What this program does is give young people a sense of technology in the world, and how it's used. I'm going into my senior year in High School and because of this program, I know exactly what I want to do in life. That's what motivates ME to spend time studying in school. Please do look into this program a little bit more before you decide to bash on it. Check out a competition and talk to the students on teams. There is truly so much more to it than just this video.

I spent several years being the Channel Cats with my brother it was awesome go Channel Cats.

[@FIRSTLEGOLeagueofficial]

[@pintsize131]

[@borg22222]

[@dbztranks6601]

I just joined my schools robotics team last year at the start of school and build season has just started I start school at 7 10 then I leave the robotics room at 8 PM I love it if anyone isn't on a robotics team and your school has one join it

[@anishgandhi1737]

I'm in that video, I'm the little chicken boy that is making a wierd face and going kinda into the screen for a second

[@howichangeyoutubehandle]

It's dope.

[@beastoboy300]

Morgan Freeman should be president.

[@ConnersvilleRobotics]

Connersville Robotics (AKA team T.R.E.A.D.S.) FIRST FRC team 3565 LOVES FIRST!!!! :)

[@gdixonfitness]

wow powerful video!

[@gixxygamma]

What Morgan Freeman? What did you say? Sorry, I couldn't hear you over how awesome FIRST Robotics is!

[@gogukaizer]

I watched this mainly because it's with Morgan Freeman.

[@StellarMoig]

In another two years, Barrack Obama will become Morgan Freeman based on his 2012 White House Correspondents' Dinner speech xD

[@orionsswords]

It might help if you researched the program a little more. FIRST is a worldwide competition. There are teams from all over the world participating. American kids aren't the only ones who are benefiting from this program.

[@sciencething0101]

I love morgan freeman but I think it was funny how they where talking about not always having a actor as a model. (morgan freeman is an actor)

[@Massap2]

Amazing video but that is not fair! Using Morgan Freeman is like using a cheat code!

[@Sanif514]

FIRST is the cheat code

[@TheJohnFisher]

@they0are0here I think you got the wrong point of this video. FIRST Robotics inspire students to pursue in those engineering fields to help solve many crucial problems today. If you were in this program, you would have a totally different point of view.

[@canyoube4tme]

i would vote him for no reason

[@KokoEd]

MOE won their only world championship in 2001.
