I thought the video was interesting and generally of interest

Dear Webmaster of the MiniSumo Forum!

I've posted a video about the Robot Sumo European Championship 2010 in Vienna as my contribution to the Can-Do Film Festival:
http://cando.jstunzi.com/video/robot-sumo/

If you like the movie, it would be nice if you could
– give it a 5-star rating (click on the rightmost star under the movie)
– leave a friendly note at the bottom of all comments (you may include your web link as a sort of promo for your forum here!)
– forward it to all your friends via Twitter, Facebook etc. (also under the movie)
– post a note with a link to the video in the appropriate place at your forum

Like this, I might have a small chance to win the public voting

With best regards from Vienna,
