Présentation de l'éditeur:

The true story of four underdogs from the mean streets of Phoenix and how they took on the best from MIT in the National Underwater Robotics Championship.

The story that inspired the major motion picture produced by George Lopez, directed by Sean McNamara and starring Marissa Tomei, Jamie Lee Curtis, Steven Michael Quezada and George Lopez, La Vida Robot is an underdog story about four undocumented Mexican-American teenagers from Phoenix who form a robotics team. With $800, used car parts and a dream, they build an underwater robot that wins the national robotics competition, taking down reigning champion MIT.
