    Cool :) I watched the film 'More Than Robots (2022)' about that competition, which was really neat.

    I really enjoyed the The Bit Player (2018) about Claude Shannon, it uses an actor to play Shannon.

    I thought More Than Robots (2022) seemed really cool too, about teams of teenagers building robots for a competition.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsIo57pH-pA - is an interesting short documentary on the making of neon signs.

    Birdmen: The Original Dream of Human Flight (2012) was pretty fascinating on the history of wingsuit flying

    And also Jiro Dreams of Sushi.
