Next year perhaps IFI will create a category for "Best Humorous Vex Robot Video." I'd vote for this one.

Thanks for all the comments. This entry is just for humor and entertainment - I'm sorry if you find it otherwise. If you want to look at a serious entry, look at our team promotional video. http://forum.robotevents.com/design/entry/detail/941
