By popular request, I’m posting the raw video from fights I shot at BotsIQ 2011 (and 2010, the competition in the film). Teams like to analyze the fights frame by frame to see what happened.

Starbot – Miami’s Robotics HQ

Students Make Awesome Things at Starbot in Miami!

While that wrapped up most of the filming for the documentary (with a few post-competition interviews left) there’s still a long road ahead in first sorting all the footage, and then editing it all.

Robot Building Time – Time Lapse Montage from Joey Daoud on Vimeo. For the past few weeks I’ve been filming time lapse shots of teams building their robots. I set the camera to take one picture every second and when you play it back you get a lot of time condensed. It’s cool to watch [...]
