Assuming we end up attending as many signature events as we plan, we will look into doing this but only for a few teams. You are correct that there are some interesting elements to follow along with but each ‘re-visit’ that we do means that another team is not getting an interview. We only have so many hours in an event.

The Battle of the Highland will be my team’s first signature Event and we were wondering if you will be there and who you are interviewing. we are 15981A. it would mean the most to the team. (also one of our team members always wears a propeller hat)

I can see that in your profile picture. 
The person who considered using that to differentiate your team is a genius.

We’re starting to move forward with our travel schedule and while there’s still a couple areas to iron out we are planning on going to the Highlander Signature event next week!
If you have any suggestions for teams to film please post them. It 100% helps if you have some reasoning behind what makes the team/robot stand out or would be a good candidate for the interview. FUN will be there on Saturday-Sunday of the event.
We’ll have more details on other events coming soon, but wanted to get this one out there ASAP.

You should interview 66475C Ex Machina, they did great last season making it to dome. They seem to have a unique robot based on their reveal.

Looks like a blast! I’ve got some team suggestions for you to look out for:
9364A - Atari was a very respectable team last year.
66475C - Ex Machina another top team of last year.
16099A - Overclock put up a very impressive 108 in skills earlier today. It would be interesting to hear about their approach to the skills challenge.
