As always, the deadline is nominally Saturday at midnight Eastern.
Go!
Finally IRI realized it would be much smarter to keep the spare field reset crew near the field if another breaks.
One of Shroedingers' lesser known experiments...
When asked why she liked being in the box, Kara replied, "Well, I can't think outside of it, and I like thinking."

Strange thing that box. It had been following Chris Fultz for quite a while. The quickest way to keep it from interrupting opening ceremonies was to stand in it until Chris had finished. Strange how certain objects just want to be close to Woodie Flowers winners. The stress became too much when Dan Green and Paul Copioli showed up, it just went all to pieces.
Samir: Oh, you have to sign up to volunteer to get a box?
Welcome to our complaint department. Write your question on a piece of paper, crumple it up and put it in my mouth.
(written on front of box)
"how to use this box:
step 1: do hokey pokey till you are standing in the box
step 2: once you get in, stand like you need o go to the bathroom till we come talk to you
step 3: stand in bow until whatever provoked you to get in it in the first place is solved
step 4: when ready to leave, wait for a dance song and then do that dance out of the box"

Kara: "What can I say, it's comfortable!"

If you order enough game pieces, AndyMark will throw in field re-setter to help you practice.

Sorry, even though you're short, you're not a pre-college student. No questions for you!

Clearly, someone didn't pay attention to how people communicate in writing at IRI (https://twitter.com/WmLeverette/status/226755194992599041)... ;)

Absolutely true story:
At every competition (at least, all those I have been to in 8 years) the field reset crew, as they find various bits of robot detritus scattered on the carpet*, drops the pieces and chunks into some kind of container co-opted for the purpose - generally an old cardboard box. I have made it a habit to look inside these boxes near the end of the competition, because there is often gold (as in 'one man's treasure...') mixed in with the bits and pieces. Things like #35 master links, sensors, and other still-useful stuff.
I was at my first IRI this year and the reset crew, after finding Miss Kara on the field during reset one time too many, carried her into the junk box and told her (in a stern voice) to "stay". Shortly thereafter, along wanders Billfred with his cellphone to capture the aftermath, preserving the scene forever.
And now you know the rest of the story.

Always thinking outside the box had become such an easy habit that Kara wanted to try something new and different.

And so a system was created where the referees notice someone with a question almost immediately. They just look to where the crowd is laughing at.

Once again, proof positive that there is a prize in every box.

They told me that I could become anything that I wanted. So I became the IRI Question Box.

You spend hundreds of dollars on an educational toy and all they want to do is play with the box.
New Entry:
Laugh if you want, but it's still bigger than the MTU dorm rooms.

Or even the one before it (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/32294)!
I guess I have a history with boxes...

Eager McBeaver Kara was ready to ask the question on everybody's mind, "Can we get to the first match already?"

Due to her inquisitive personality, IRI made a special question box, just for Kara. Needless to say, she never left.

She looks pretty questionable to me. And it seems like the guy in the foreground agrees.

Kara: I know that everyone's here to play robot basketball, but I'd really like to try some boxing.
After the match...
Head ref: "So, what's your question?"
Kara: "I submitted my caption contest entry for this week on a chunk of a ball. How am I supposed to top that next week?"
