More cool concept illustrations. I love the colors and renderings in this collection, plus the 40s throwback.

I think my favorite part is the quote. But these devices are really entertaining.
For the world to be interesting, you have to be manipulating it all… – but does it float.

Bots High Teaser Trailer from Joey Daoud on Vimeo.
It’s probably not the best to call this a trailer, since I really have no idea how the film will shape up (though I’m 90% sure Flamin’ Fluffy will be in it), but this played in the trailer section of the Borscht Film Festival, so I’m calling it a trailer.
It’s more of a good highlight reel of all the action at Mayhem in Miami. It even includes foreshadowing!

Help out Bots High and buy the crew a cup of coffee!Earlier this morning President Obama gave a speech pushing for better STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) education in middle and high school. Well if you’re looking for a documentary about all of that then look no further because that’s what Bots High is all about.
The MythBusters were in attendance (way cool!) and the winning robot from the FIRST robotics competition gave a demonstration.
Some good quotes and initiatives:
As President, I believe that robotics can inspire young people to pursue science and engineering…
And today, I’m announcing that we’re going to have an annual science fair at the White House with the winners of national competitions in science and technology. If you win the NCAA championship, you come to the White House.
Well, if you’re a young person and you’ve produced the best experiment or design, the best hardware or software, you ought to be recognized for that achievement, too. Scientists and engineers ought to stand side by side with athletes and entertainers as role models, and here at the White House we’re going to lead by example. We’re going to show young people how cool science can be.
Hopefully with BattleBots making it’s return to TV on December 10th the winners from next year’s competition will be invited to the White House (though a BattleBots demonstration might be considered a threat to national security).
Here’s the full speech below (full transcript (via Bad Astronomy)):

Help out Bots High and buy the crew a cup of coffee!The Explosive End of Fluffy from Joey Daoud on Vimeo.
The first Miami BattleBots competition went off this past weekend. As you can see in the video, I don’t think you could have asked for a more spectacular ending.
Stay tuned for some more videos from the competition.
