 Who is this aimed at? because i don't care if it is made in house or outsourced... And why do I need to know the costings of the trip?

 I was wondering about the prices myself... Probably to let the world know that coffee is ridiculously priced around there.

 the goal is to present the mains sponsors and judges for the "project" that they submit with their first or second video and to show people what it looks like in facilities (with i think is interesting). The money spent is probably to show the creating those video cost something and probably to show sponsors where their money is going.

i think it's a really cool project and i hope it'll continue for quite some times!

 Hmmm thought this series would give much more insight. Not sure why we need to know he spent $4.50 on Coffee.

 Well, I'm sure that if you noticed, there were two people in the car and on the trip.. thus why breakfast would be $14, a hotel $130 and coffee $4.50. Things tend to be doubly expensive when you are providing for two people.

 Short and really not much impact...hope the next one is better.

Oh, and even better is the disclaimer in the beginning saying that the next three videos will be of a technical nature--I was hoping for this, but all they did was blow smoke up each others asses.

 I don't get what anyone is supposed to get from this. They went all the way to the cane creek factory but managed to show us nothing of how any of the components are manufactured?

C'mon guys.

Sandvik person talks marketing blah
hear how long someone's commute was
Cane Creed R&D guy tells us some semi useful info 15 seconds or so, because I don't care about their logistics issues
presenter repeats info R&D guy said
Random summary about the innovation bird, with costs, which I guess is a reality check?
