View Full Version : Galileo teams

I see many problems in the Galileo Division. I'm not sure how all of these teams are going to peacefully co-exist.

Not only does the Galileo division have CHAOS (131), but also Purpetual Chaos (931) and NeverEndingChaos (891) <note... Purpetual Chaos and NeverEndingChaos are pit neighbors, by the way>. All this, and we know darn well that Houston will have Thunder (from Truck Town, 68) during the upcoming Heat Wave (312) next week.

I'm not sure how the poor Grasshoppers (95) are going to survive agaist all of the Killer Bees (33), who are Buzz(175)ing around. Not only that, but there will be Gila Monsters (64) and Birds of Prey (181) who will also be hungry.

I am also worried that Chuck (84) plans on conducting a Blair Robot Project (449) after his todo at a recent regional, where he went on a Titanium Rampage (391). He was OK after someone gave him a Daisy (341), but I'm still a bit worried that he may go TechnoNuts (155).

You see, there were these RoboMasters (519) who were Combbat(21)ing with the Metalcrafters (207) and the TechEngineers (334) about who could build the best Mr. Roboto (1180). They were really going at it until someone said that they could never be as good as the Transformerz (687) that were shown on the Cartoon Channel.

All this won't even matter if T-Rex (145) gets mad and Bulldogs (249) their way over the CyberKnights (195), causing a big High Voltage (231) situation.

Hopefully, the Thunderchickens (217) can get their friends, the Frog Force (503) can join the Magaforce Squadron (814) and pull off a Westside Boiler Invasion (461) by RoboRide(9)ing in on their Cheshire Cyber Chopper (999) and save these silly Hawaiian Kids (359). I dunno... it probably won't be enough without also calling upon the RobotNauts (118), but we all know that they are somewhere out in the Cosmos (123) conducting some Tech Fusion (279) experiments on how the the IFI SPIKEnet (293) relays react to Element 945 (945).

Lord knows that last time this happened, the Leopards (57), Positronic Panthers (486), and Panthers (303) got bit by TechnoTicks (236) while the TechnoKats (45), SigmaC@ats (108), RoboCats (379) and Bearcats (225) all had a good cat fight until the Metallic Tigers (755) clawed them all. Then, the Flaming Dutch (74) only got themselves to smoke, which really threw everyone into a Paragon (571) until the RoboDox (599) performed an Operation Oxidation (638) and get everyone back to good health.

Really, I should be keeping my chin up. Even though the other divisions have Moe and Big Moe, we do have Mobotics (783) who can pull out their Webbinator (837) and create an Aftershock (263). Or, the Monclair Mounties (555) can act like All-Stars (1077) and CRUSH (1011) the dreaded GondoBots (861) with their Lakotas (1038) from Lancaster (399).

All I can say is, I can't wait.

Ohm my... what. a. geek.

I pissed my pants off when I read that.

Though, I'm not sure if it was because it was funny in itself, or funny because you actually took the time to come up with all that.

Hahahaha, I enjoyed reading that. Seems to me that Andy B. is more anxious for the Championship Event to come than any of us.

who cares? and a paragon isn't something you can get thrown into.

Andy, How much time exactly did it take you to come up with that? Its a work of art.

Your words move me Andy, you are a true poet.

Marlon... sorry about the mistake. I moved the Golightly Metalmasters from a different paragraph below and in the transition, I messed the number up. My mistake. I definitely know who you guys are... you tooled us at the Midwest Regional in 2002, and I even got to partially inspect your robot at Pittsburgh this year. I especially like your idler wheels (rollerblade wheels!).

I came up with this in about 45 minutes over lunch today. I was searching for team names and I came across some similarities, so the story came about. Once I got going, it just flowed.

I left out some teams... maybe those can be added by others.

Jon... being called a geek is an honor to me.

Kevcan... I could, but I am focusing on Galileo... so, no. I'll leave the opportunity for others.

Andy B.

This is hillarious...

I would just like to say that DJ is not the only role model on 45...andy baker is my hero, and i'm not afraid to say it!

Maybe 461 will come up with an Andy Baker cheer like we came up with a Bob Evoy cheer...
Last year i had come up with cheers for both 71 and 45 at the midwest regional...but i forgot them. I'll give this mission to our spirit leaders:)

Wooo galileo!

What is this I see? I wake up from my eternal sleep and there's already chatter about our division?


Tis great to see this division should be the best.. now I just have to get used to the fact that we're going to muggy Houston instead of Florida.. I hope Miss Daisy can still get her yearly tan..

Andy, your new nickname is Awesome Andy! That was just great!

This dividion is going to be great, too. I agree with whoever said that the National Champ will come from here.

See y'all on Thursday!
