As always, the deadline is nominally Sunday at midnight Eastern if you aren't still in tryptophan detox.

Go!

[EricH]

Due to the usage of STEAM in the 2017 FRC game, safety measures have to be improved. Here we see the beta test of the new Alliance Station, complete with vision obstructions that haven't been cleared by Field Reset yet.

[Cothron Theiss]

And here we see the wild and elusive driver's team in a futile attempt to play the 2016 game with the Portcullis and the Drawbridge in play.

[efoote868]

The programmers are inside learning how to tune their autonomous mode control loops. The drivers are smart to be outside ready with the ESTOP button.

[GaryVoshol]

When drivers get a time out.

[logank013]

jjjuuusssttt in case it decides to catch on fire again...

[GeeTwo]

You thought visibility was bad in STRONGHOLD? Here comes STEAMworks!

[JustinCAD]

Don't worry, their just trying to prove they are the dominant drive team :D

[bdaroz]

When you realize you've given your safety captain way too much power.

[DonRotolo]

Too bad we won't be able to see this good on the competition field...

[cgmv123]

Introducing the 2018 FRC game: FIRST Anaerobics, played in an actual vacuum chamber!

[Cothron Theiss]

But would a fan still be a pneumatic device if there is no air?

Not an entry.

[Hitchhiker 42]

Team 2252 getting ready for the new version of the portcullis at their next offseason: The Garage Door.

[FiMFanatic]

I am sure we can make this garage door open with just a bit more tweaking to our code (as they later learn it is just a manual garage door).

[Wayne Doenges]

In Florida, this is what happens when your playing field is outside and it's 50 degrees.

[Zealii]

The throwing star game piece has forced teams to find an alternative place to safely practice.

[ctt956]

Coach: "If you can pass this limited-visibility driving test, you'll do just fine on the real field..."

[Not part of entry]

The throwing star game piece has forced teams to find an alternative place to safely practice.

I knew there would be a star-shaped piece in 2017! Though hopefully one less dangerous... :p

[/Not part of entry]

[frcguy]

In this photo, you can see members of the GDC testing out the prototype pressure vessel field for Steamworks.

[Pooja Anil]

So this is what happens when we keep screaming inside...we get locked outside, and have to control the robot from there

[Billfred]

Sorry for the delay--it's been quite a few days!

First place goes to:

Introducing the 2018 FRC game: FIRST Anaerobics, played in an actual vacuum chamber!


Second place goes to:

The programmers are inside learning how to tune their autonomous mode control loops. The drivers are smart to be outside ready with the ESTOP button.


And the burn award goes to:

When you realize you've given your safety captain way too much power.
