Because in 60 seconds you can provide 60 reasons why you might be totally un-investable.
Remember that your video is in addition to your application. Your application is where it all happens, and your video is giving you a chance to shine. But that's not to say just because you aren't a native English speaker that you won't get funded.
And if you think that you aren't a good speaker, then you might have missed the point on the video, you aren't suposed to speak like it's a talk, it should be a really informal introduction of what it is you are working on. You cannot stress the informality enough.
Just relax and talk into the camera like your chatting with your best friend. Being relaxed and being able to explain your idea shows that you understand your product really well, because people who have to work really hard come off as being unnatural and appear to have slower recall times as if they don't know what they are talking about. Robotics in talks is just bad.
