As you’ve have seen on the site or Twitter, for the past year I’ve been working on a documentary on high school combat robots called Bots High.

The national championship is approaching, where the teams I’ve been following will battle it out to see if their robot is the battling king of the nation for the climax of the film.

I started a Kickstarter campaign to fund filming this championship with multi-cameras, and also to finish the film.

View the Bots High Kickstarter Project.

I’m in the last few weeks of the project funding, and I’m determined to reach the goal, so I have an offer for you. Pledge $25 or more, and I’ll send you a link to a digital download of You 2.0 with all the interviews. That’s the $10 version, plus access to all future interviews.

Just forward your backer email to lifehackdoc@gmail.com and I’ll send you the link. You don’t even have to wait for the project to end.

Please tell your friends, fans, and followers about this deal, since it’s only good as long as the project is active.

I found a few clips, which I posted below, that I thought were kind of funny and appropriate given the whole economic situation we’re in. 

The first is on Banks and Credit. I think all bankers should have watched this so, you know, they’d actually know how a bank works.

This next one is on capitalism. The film was meant for schools and to start discussions, so it doesn’t really take a decisive stand, but it’s still a good representation of the times, plus I thought it was pretty appropriate since only 53% of Americans favor capitalism over socialism.

And finally, this film uses the classic “it was all a dream” technique. The hellish scenario: congress is suspended. This reminded me of all the talk of nationalization that’s been happening, but frankly I’m more worried about this huge surplus of bubbles that will be released should the government go away.
