We get one table and a 27-inch screen.\n\nOur robot: \"Rover Three\", a small three-wheeled orange rover, boxy aluminum body, one gripper arm on top, a ring of blue LED lights around the base. It won regional sumo last spring.\n\nVideo idea: the robot slowly rolls across a dark workshop bench, the gripper arm lifts a small gear, the blue LEDs glow. Camera slowly circles it. Moody, a bit cinematic, shallow depth of field.\n\nOld plan from last semester: a 10-second clip with our club name animated at the end. It stuttered every time it looped and people said the jump was distracting.\n\nSuggestions from members:\n- \"Use that viral dancing humanoid robot from the famous robotics company, everyone knows it.\"\n- \"Show us at the competition with our faces.\"\n- \"Put the meeting time on the video: Thursdays 6pm, Engineering 204.\"\n\nWe'll put a printed sign with the meeting info next to the screen.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":100},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Using the old 10-second plan","why":"The AI keeps the 10-second clip with a title card, which stutters when it loops.","fix":"Add: \"5 seconds, seamless loop, last frame matches the first.\"","checks":["r0"]},{"title":"Borrowing a famous robot","why":"Members' ideas pull the AI toward a famous company's robot you can't use.","fix":"Add: \"Show only our robot: a small three-wheeled orange rover with a gripper arm.\"","checks":["r1"]},{"title":"Putting info on screen","why":"The AI adds the meeting time and club name, and video tools garble text.","fix":"Add: \"No text, no logos, no people.\"","checks":["r2"]},{"title":"Getting a shot list with headings","why":"The AI writes a formatted production plan instead of one prompt.","fix":"Add: \"Output only the prompt, plain text, about 55 words.\"","checks":["plainText","maxWords"]}],"promptHints":[{"label":"Sets the length","patterns":["5[ -]?s(ec|econds)?\\b","five seconds"]},{"label":"Asks for a seamless loop","patterns":["loop","last frame"]},{"label":"Describes your own robot","patterns":["orange","three[- ]wheel|3[- ]wheel","our (own )?robot"]},{"label":"Rules out text and people","patterns":["no (text|logo|people|faces)"]},{"label":"Names a camera move","patterns":["orbit","circle","camera"]}],"hint":"Video tools need a length and a plan for the loop, and they can't use famous robots or garbled text.
