Well Our team was SUPPOSED to get these really cool blow up sowrds. But some one forgot to order them. Not naming names though. . . There was some cool stuff though like cogsquad's ball things they passed out and the frisbes that uh..... Flashbacks? passed out. But the light sabres look really cool. *_* I want one.

That's awesome! I wish I had been around to see it, but my team left basically right after the awards ceremony. The pink/green laser flashing things that were handed out during the competiton reminded me of light sabres the whole weekend.

We had little flashing LEDs that flashed red and blue! With magnitic holdings, it could go anywhere!!!

I think that's cooler than some sort of light sabre... :D

Our team had little baggies which contained pretzel sticks, a pack of spicy mustard, and a temporary tattoo...People really loved them...Especially the pregnant judge. lol

I think both our teams should bring Light Sabres to Nats - People seem to like them.

I wonder what the Customs people will think of them when we go the airport?

A light sabre would be an interesting thing to try to get past airport security...

Security: "Excuse me, Miss, what's with the light saber?"
Me: "I plan to protect a Robotics Competition from the forces of evil...just doing my job :p..."

hehe :D

First off, I gotta say nice photo skills :) those are some realistic light sabers there.

Second, lol is making a lightsaber even possible?? or something to the effect of it?? I know there are lazers that can through things... well... couldn't there be a saber-like lazer made? I dunno that would be cool though :p

Ah... I see someone figured out the secret to making lightsabers using PS. Very nice.

Lightsabers are not possible with today's technology unless someone has a really well kept secret.

Well give me some pizza, Dr. Pepper, chinese food, pen and paper and I will design one...

One question, did you edit those pictures or are those real? It looks like the light sabers are a little too bright. So bright that I can't view the picture too long or my eyes will hurt. But then again, I'd have to be up close to see for myself. It kind of looks like some kind of special effect was added though.

Photoshop...it does wonders:D

Yup, exactly, I was right. :D

I think it got a few people....lol

The people in the pic are actually holding wood poles (anyone from the Canadian Regional knows that it was part of our pits).

Through photoshop the wood became light sabre.

Wood poles to light saber. Interesting. Unfortunately we don't have Photoshop and I've never used it. I've never even seen it. Someday we'll get it. Someday. <sigh>

Wait.. the FIRST picture was modified in photoshop, too?!

.... Sheesh, I'm slow :P

By looking at the handle more closely, I can see now that they really are wooden poles.

Dude, you are not very good at making Light Sabres. McGuyver can make one out of a paper clip, a rubber band, and some hamster droppings. Beat that!
